PART II: PARTICIPATION (50 POINTS–25 POINTS FOR EACH RESPONSE, TWO REQUIRED)
Choose TWO of your peers’ paragraphs that HAVE NOT received a response (or only have one), and read their fallacy-filled attempt to persuade you, and then complete the following for them (you should number your replies as they are listed below):
- Identify the major claim/thesis–what are they arguing for, no matter how ridiculous.
- Identify each fallacy by naming and describing it. This may be in list form.
- Choose two of the fallacies and pretending that you do not know that your peer made them on purpose, use intellectual empathy to explain what the fallacy is and how they might fix it. Be gentle, and remember, pretend they did not do it on purpose.
- About 250 words each response for each peer ( the paragraphs are in the files)
