1. Journal-  Well, you have to write an essay, eventually, so what topic are you choosing and why?

2. Reading Review-  What's important from Chapter 1?

Induction-

Deduction

Logos--  Convincing using logic. Inductive/Deductive... Facts.  True.

Ethos-- Ethics.  Credibility.

Pathos--

And a parody...

And a rhetorical analysis, of sorts.


3. Flipped Class Definitions.  What is it?  Give and example of it at work.

Logical Fallacies-

Partner Pairs Research and present:

1.  Equivocation-   Use of deceiving expressions.  Ex:  Providing a piece of the truth.

2.  Begging the Question:  Assuming the conclusion of the argument is true.  Ex:  If these actions were not illegal, then they wouldn't be illegal.

3.  False Dichotomy:  Either or thinking.  Could be more than just two possibilities

4.  Red Herring:  Misleading or distracting from the argument.  EX:  Gun Rights.... Murder.

5.  Straw Man:  You make up a fake argument to win the point.

6.  Appeal to Pity:  Convincing by exploiting emotions.  See Chipotle ad.

7.  Appeal to Ignorance:  Arg with lack of evidence or an assumption.  Since you haven't proved it, it must be true/not true.

8.  Ad Hominem:  Attacking the arguer. 

9.  Tu Quoque:  You, too.  Just because you're smoking, doesn't mean you're wrong when you say not to.

10.  Ad Populum:  Bandwagon.  Everyone does, you should.

11. Hasty Generalization:  assuming too fast.

12.  Missing the Point

13.  Post Hoc (False Cause)

14.  Slippery Slope:  One thing leads to another. 

15.  Weak Analogy

16.  Appeal to Authority:  This person is smart, they must be right.

4.  HW-  Read the rhetorical analysis of the Chipotle ad as a model for your second writing assignment.

5.  Write your own editorial about your topic, based off of the two editorials you should have read.  Due Tuesday.
