Class Plan -- Unit Two, Day 24 |
Activities:
Revision lesson - Design a lesson on a key area that needs to be addressed in
the final revision. You can base this on what you saw in conferences or you can choose
an area that you feel hasn't been addressed sufficiently so far. One suggestion is to discuss
revising to remove logical fallacies. You can assign the pages in the PHG, pp. 456-58 for today.
You can design an activity that has students categorize the various fallacies based on what
causes each fallacy. For instance some, such as hasty generalization, are caused by a lack of
evidence. Others, such as ad populum are caused by excess appeal to emotion. Once
students can recognize fallacies and their causes, they can know how to revise their work
to avoid and remove them.
Peer review mini workshop - Have students review each other's drafts concentrating on the focus of your revision lesson.
