  1. Warm Up: 1-21-13 • 1) What is imperialism? • 2) How does it lead to economic inequality? • 3) Do you think it is the rich’s responsibility to help the poor?

  2. FALLACIES Appeal to Experience - Because someone has been in someone else’s shoes, they are correct. It is much harder for someone to deny what is said if the other person has experience. Example: "Don't do this. It is a mistake. I am your mother (father), listen to me.

  3. FALLACIES Devise Analogies (and Metaphors) That Support Your View (even if misleading and false) Using comparisons to make your argument favorable and the opponent look bad. The analogies and metaphors that work depend on the audience’s prejudices and beliefs. Example: The way you are treating me is like kicking a horse when he is down. Can’t you see I’ve had a rough day? I can’t believe you’d cheat in a board game. This is like using chemical weapons in a time of war– it’s so not fair!

  4. Create your own example • In your notes, create your own example of the devise analogies fallacy. • Possible answers: • “You are treating me like my father used to treat me. He was so unfair and so are you.”

  5. FALLACIES Deny or Defend Inconsistencies If caught in a contradiction, either deny that the contradiction even exists or defend it as justified. Example: A student cuts class and tells the teacher they were at the nurse. When the teacher says the nurse is out that day, the student changes their story, or continues to insist they were at the nurse.

  6. Create your own example • In your notes, create your own example of the deny or defend inconsistencies fallacy.

  7. FALLACIES Evade Questions, Gracefully Attempting to not directly answer questions when direct answers will force accepting responsibility. Use vagueness, jokes, diversions and truisms. Example: Citizen: “How much longer will the nation be at war?” President: “As long as needed, and not a day longer.”

  8. Create your own example • In your notes, create your own example of the evade questions gracefully fallacy.

  9. DOL • For each fallacy, create your own example

  10. Review: proficient essays • 1. What is the first step to writing a proficient Essay? • 2. How many main points do you need? • 3. How many details do you need for each main point?

  11. Review • The next slide you have seen before. It is a student example of an essay. What does each color represent?

  12. Discuss with your group: • What color do you see the most of? • What does this color represent? Why is it important?

  13. Tomorrow: • Tomorrow you will have a multiple choice test covering everything we have gone over this semester. There will be MC questions and an essay component. • You will be able to use 1 side of paper for notes. Create a study guide tonight, and you can use it tomorrow.
