Day 10 - Feb 7th. Fallacies continued

Today, students continued their presentations on fallacies found in movies, etc. We then finished our discussion on the poem The Colonel. I love using this poem to introduce the analysis of characters and how characters can define themselves against other characters. We then started to discuss Eco-Defense, an argument which is not fully convincing ; yet the introduction does a great job at putting reader and writer on the same ground as it clearly defines what the writer means by "crime" before starting his discussion.

I only had time to start discussing Thoreau's Civil Disobedience, yet I plan on discussing it in details, next time. 

Positive feedback on The Colonel
