10.08 - Logical Fallacies in the Gubernatorial Debate

Today, we continued our work with logical fallacies. To practice with logical fallacies we watched today's debate between Governor LePage and candidates Cutler and Michaud. I provided everyone with a note sheet to track questions and individual responses. After each response, we paused the video to give everyone a moment to finish writing down the candidates response and identifying any logical fallacies that were present in their response.

We had so much fun with this that we are going to look at the rest of the debate tomorrow.
