This Module introduces learners to logical vocabulary, including Ethos, Pathos, and Logos and many common logical fallacies. This information will be used throughout the class to further analysis and, later, construction of argumentative writing.
Module Outcomes:
- Apply appropriate levels of critical thinking strategies (knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation) in their written assignments, with an emphasis on analysis and evaluation/persuasion
- Implement appropriate rhetorical elements and organization (introduction, thesis, development and support, counter-argument, conclusion, etc.) in their written assignments, with an emphasis on standard argument models, particularly the Toulmin model.
