10.20 - Portfolio Prep and TED Talk 2

For the first half of class today we organized our practice and formal analyses of appeals, rhetorical devices, and logical fallacies into portfolio's. Once everyone had completed this, people wrote in their writer's journal about the assignment out of these of which they were the most proud.

Next, we returned to looking at and taking notes of TED Talks. We began by looking at Pamela Meyer's talk "How to Spot a Liar" (see below). We will be comparing Meyer's use of appeals to Lessig's from last weeks talk.

Handouts:

TED Talk note sheet

Homework:

If you did not complete the analysis of Lawrence Lessig's speech, be sure to have it for class tomorrow.
