Today, we began class by reading, annotating, and discussing chapter 14 of Thank You for Arguing. We discussed logical fallacies, and students were given an additional handout, with a list of defined logical fallacies, to review. Then, the class revisited McCarthy's "Enemies from Within" speech, working with partners to identify logical fallacies within the speech. At the end of class, we previewed our unit one vocabulary terms, and students were assigned their first set of vocabulary exercises.
