Socratic Seminar

Looking at yesterday's work on the Jeremy Irons Death Penalty chart, I noticed a lot of incomplete work, especially in the Appeals column and the Counterclaims column.  In the Appeals column, make sure you give an example of Logos, Pathos, and Ethos.  In the Counterclaims column, make sure you find pro-death penalty examples (and Jeremy Irons does mention pro-death penalty viewpoints--they're not obvious, but they are there; read the transcript closely).  Finishing the chart is HOMEWORK for the weekend, due first thing on Monday.  You can find links to the video and the transcript on the Thursday, Jan. 9 blog.

Today we had a lively Socratic Seminar on the death penalty.
