Extra-Credit Opportunity

Class,

Expelled, No Intelligence Allowed just came out in theatres (along with Iron Man- a dynamic success). In light of the evolution vs creation argument that derived from the text, I am offering extra-credit for viewing the film and evaluating it in terms of what you've learned in class, including, but not limited to:

1. The use of appeals
2. The Toulmin method
3. Apparent fallacies
4. Rhetorical techniques

You may post your paper as a blog or hand in a printed version. The credit for this opportunity is equivelant to any other blog post. You also have the option of delivering a 5 minute (or less) speech on it for credit equivelent to a speech.

See you soon!
