1. Today we read a story from the LA Times dated March 22, 2012, about Trayvon Martin. Visit http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-trayvon-martin-20120322,0,4469238.story

The freewrite is to analyze the arguments presented here. Are any fallacious? Can you name the fallacies? The freewrite should be about 250 words.

Respond to a classmate's post.

2. We also shared visual arguments this morning per the Fallacious Arguments noted in WLTC (chapter 6). There were 15 assigned. Comment on the assignment and the exercise this morning reviewing what classmates shared.

I asked everyone to note 5 arguments. Comment on yours plus 4 others which stood out to you and why.

3. Homework is to skim the package I gave you and think about what argument you'd like to pursue for the essay taking its theme from Alaxander's book.
