Fallacies & Allusions

In all hours, at some point therein, you received the allusion poster assignment in which you will create 4 allusion posters for your 4 assigned allusions, one a week on the assigned dates. As you saw from a plethora of samples, there are many ways to teach your fellow classmates about Biblical, mythological, literary, pop cultural, and historical allusions, as long as that includes some visualization and key words/phrases that indicate the significance and meaning of the person, place, thing, or idea. For those absent, I will be sending you the assignment with your assigned allusions so that you are not completely out of the loop, and I highly recommend taking a look at the samples on Monday as these are the best means to understand the assignment and make it something your own!

Fallacy-wise:

1, 3, 7: You have been assigned the Republican debate transcript (shared with you) with groups having specific page numbers to complete. F.Y.I. I sent absentees the document and an e-mail with further directions for you. Groups, you have the weekend to identify all the fallacies that you can find in your assigned portion of the document. Remember, use a comment box for each fallacy, identify the fallacy, and explain why that specific example is one.

4: We will be finishing up the prep for our slippery slope skit and then moving onto the debate portion of fallacy analysis.

For all classes:

Next week will feature the return of vocab, tone paragraphs, allusion posters, modes of discourse, and multiple choice passages. I will be mixing those up so that we will have rotating topics for our agenda.
