Today in class we reviewed logical fallacies. The texts used were Hacker and WLTC. Students received a worksheet from an earlier edition of Hacker (6) with 15 arguments to analyze. Homework is to complete the sheet and read the chapter Analyzing Arguments. Next week, we will continue in WLTC chapter 6.

If students have not skimmed this chapter, do so, stopping where there are questions to read more in depth. We also completed exercises 7B in chapter 7 (WLTC).

The freewrite was a continuation of THP Package, Topic 2. Students developed personal commandments. Keep for your Writing Portfolio on the book. You can email me if you want to share.

Keep reading Rubin. We'll finish the book next week.
