Today, we began class by discussing the logical fallacies found in McCarthy's speech, "Enemies from Within," and students received their "Fallacy Finder" organizer, which they will use to track logical fallacies through our study of Arthur Miller's The Crucible and The Salem Witch Trials. Then, students viewed History Channel's Secrets of the Dead: The Salem Witch Trials. After lunch, the class previewed the research paper requirements, and students began brainstorming topics, using the "Finding a Topic for the Researched Argument Paper" handout.
