Bellwrite: What is the difference between persuasion and manipulation?
We reflected on Doctrine and Covenants 121:41 and how it related to writing a letter to the editor.
Students shared with one another additional ideas they encountered in their research as they answered the three questions they selected from class on Tuesday.
Next, we learned the concession-refutation model of argumentation. This model follows the principle that we must seek first to understand and then to be understood. We practiced using this model to persuade in some improvisational scenarios.
Students then worked to argue for the other side of the question: Is the U.S. Constitution exceptional?
Homework: Research the other side of the argument. Write your responses to these two questions:
What are the strongest points for the other side of the argument?
What evidence is there to back up those points?
Core
We discussed the Relate and Record questions for Locke (Glorious Revolution Topic 3).
Then students worked on Glorious Revolution Topics 4 & 5.
Homework:
- Read Les Miserables through page 506.
- Work on memorizing Mosiah 4:17-20.
