Today, we began with a discussion of how different forms of media use humor to expose logical fallacies. We viewed excerpts from Monty Python and The Simpsons, and filled in the Fallacy Finder organizer. Please see the videos below.
Then, we read background information about Jonathan Edwards and began reading and annotating, for rhetorical appeals, an excerpt from "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." Students spent the remainder of class reading and annotating, for rhetorical appeals and effects, Time's "The Climate of Fear: Then and Now."
Reminders:
