Oops...this blog post was sitting in my draft folder from earlier today. Everything still applies!
Just the last reminder that the Lucy Logs are due on Thursday! You've had 6 weeks to complete this task, and you will be using your work to construct an argumentative essay in the very near future.
1: We finished our q & o regarding our presentations and then performed - with quite gusto - our slippery slope fallacies. As indicated by the numerous and adventurous steps within each slippery slope, an argument's simple statement can go haywire very quickly! Afterwards, we finished our review of fallacies using that packet, which will come in handy during Thursday's class when you and your group will identify the fallacies in a debate and explain why the fallacy exists in that specific instance.
3: Due to some technological difficulty, we had a late start to our debate fallacies, but it did allow you the whole hour to identify the flawed logic and explain the "why" in each specific instance. We will do an overview discussion of your fallacy findings during Thursday's class and then spend some quality time reviewing the first 3 parts of argumentation.
5: Prior to lunch, you worked on identifying the debate fallacies and writing some sound and specific explanations. Following lunch, you summarized your findings of major fallacies and what result these fallacies had on the audience. Argumentation next time!
