10.15 - Logical Fallacies work time

At the beginning of class today, everyone created two multiple choice questions based on logical fallacies. Everyone shared these with a partner and then we discussed some of the questions that people had come up with and helped out people who got stuck on how to properly set up a fallacy.

In the second half of the class, everyone continued working on their formal logical fallacy analysis by watching and taking notes on the 10.09 gubernatorial debate or analyzing their notes to see how fallacies affected the candidates' presentation.

You may view the debate here:

Homework:

Watch the gubernatorial debate from 10.09.14 in Waterville and take note of the candidates' responses to any four questions and then note what logical fallacies (if any) occur in their responses. Use these notes to complete the formal analysis of logical fallacies (see analysis sheet above).
