· Exercise 1:
1705135955
1705135956
The purpose of this exercise is to allow students to see the effectiveness of their natural manner of delivery and contrast it to their manner of delivery in a debate. Have a student prepare an argument and present the argument to a group of students. Video recording this speech is best, but if this is impossible, comments from the group of students also work well. After the presentation of the argument, ask the students to sit quietly and imagine a very memorable incident in their lives. Tell the students to bring their memories of that incident into the foreground of their consciousness imagining that they were physically present in the time and place that the incident occurred. After they have sat quietly and contemplated this incident, have each student stand and describe the incident to the other group of students. Discuss the differences in delivery between the students’ argumentative speeches and their descriptions of the incident.

1 Our approach to fallacious arguments and to the criteria for the logical assessment of arguments is completely borrowed from the work of two Canadian Philosophers: Ralph H. Johnson and J. Anthony Blair in their book entitled Logical Self-Defense (2006).

4 A link: search will find pages that link to a particular page. This allows researchers to examine the interrelationships among web pages. For instance, searching on link www.chinareform.org will return pages that link to China Institute for Reform and Development’s main web page. Researchers can use this information to help determine authority and evidence of potential bias. The help files for a search engine will usually indicate whether the search engine supports this feature.
