Critical Thinking at Leadership Institute @ Allen Temple

 The Plan:

We will be reviewing the terms in Chapters 1-2 and delving into Chapter 3, "The Structure of Argument," Chapter 3 (50). 

For our warm-up, we'll look at this short clip from The Black Church, a series on PBS presently:"Church Welcoming All"

Using The Miniature Guide to Critical Thinking, "Questions Using Elements of Thought," (15) let's talk about the clip we just watched.  Let's look at another clip, this from The Black Church Part 2: and review "A Checklist for Reasoning" (16-17).

The parts of an argument are: premises and conclusions (51). Terms: Standard Form, Premises and Conclusions; Assumptions, Hidden Assumptions. 

Homework:

1. Watch one of the episodes of The Black Church.

2. Identify 5 arguments. Put the arguments in Standard Form.

3. Summarize the episode. Use the worksheet or complete WA 5 (67). Complete one not both.
