Welcome to a year-long course centered on encouraging each student's individual writing voice. Plus, there's Keatsy.

Brad Pitt, The French Revolution & Elephants
Ah, the slippery slope, that fallacy that fosters such creative responses from AP Langers every year. As indicative by first hour's slippery slope performances thus far, we have recognized that failing a test equates with riding elephants in a Saudi Arabian circus, not charging your phone somehow sends you to a guillotine during the French Revolution, and deciding to become vegan essentially means marrying Brad Pitt! Starting a morning with Brad Pitt = happy day! I'm typing this blog early today with the hopes that the remaining hours bring just as memorable slippery slopes to Room 404. At this point, all classes have reviewed the packet and the fallacies that you will be identifying in a future activity and NOT incorporating into your future arguments. In theory, all classes have also either started or finished the slippery slope skits. If you happen to be absent today and tomorrow (i.e. you won't be writing or performing in those skits), you will need to create your own slippery slope fallacy of at least 15 steps. While you won't be able to perform those for the class, I look forward to reading them.
