Who/What/Where/When
9th – 12th graders (I will accept advanced 8th graders on a case by case basis)
Students will learn to recognize arguments, identify premises and conclusions, spot and avoid common fallacies, evaluate evidence, and develop clarity in speaking and writing. We will use puzzles, discussions, debates, and real-world examples, to practice analyzing media, participating in thoughtful discussions, and write clearly reasoned arguments of their own.
