Aug 30 - Logical Fallacies

Today we will spend some time looking into logical fallacies. If you see any of these while doing research, steer clear!

Hopefully you can gather the information to teach the class about 1 of 23 logical fallacies and present all in one class day.

Good Luck,

Syllabus Amendment

Hey Guys (and Gals),

In my excitement and haste, I left out a key part of the syllabus!

See major addition/clarification below:

1.     Late work is unacceptable!  If you do not turn in an assignment, on time, you will receive a zero.

Aug 25 - Finish: Show and Tell / RAVEN / Argument Sequencing

Here we are again!

Today we will finish the Show and Tell presentations. After that, we will re-engage with the article on S.S. Ed. and break it down using the RAVEN method.

After we discuss that process in our table groups and whole class we will participate in a collaborative task. This will require you to take sentences of an argument and position them in a logical order. Lots of meta-cognition will be required for this task.

Should be fun,

- Mr. T

Aug 23 - Show and Tell Day 1 and RAVEN WS

Time to speak!

Being comfortable in front of the class is going to be a major part of this course, so let's start practicing now. The safe space, easy topic, and short period of time should ease the tensions that most might face.

After our "Show and Tell" time we will describe the nature of an argument and analyze one ourselves. Basically, we will do what we did with the Foie Gras article, but with deeper analysis.

Aug 16 - Welcome to AP Seminar!

Welcome to AP Capstone Seminar. I am very happy that you chose to take this class, as it will be one of the most impactful and meaningful classes that you take at Leland High School.

Today, we will be doing typical first day stuff. Don't worry, I am not into team building, ice breakers, or other awkward activities. Instead we will review the course outline and hopefully you will gain an understanding of the class and who I am as a teacher.

Looking forward to meeting you all!
