I entered
the classroom early, as usual, and watched as a stream of students quickly
filled up the room. As each student took their seat, they got out their laptop
and began to open pages such as facebook and twitter. I observed solitaire as
well as a photo editing software within the class period. Mrs. Evans spoke to
the class about what to do and what not to do when posting to the class blog. Things
such as do include a creative title and don’t put your heading on as you would
a paper. Then it was time to get down to business, the business of our essays. A
slideshow was shown for what to include in the essays, they should have a works
cited page and be in MLA format. However, since this was our argument essay,
there should only be one citation, thus the title of the citations page should
be work cited.
In the second half of class, we were
split up into groups to discuss falicies. A falicy is convoluted logic when
used unintentionally to confuse you or make you think something that isn’t true.
As this definition was explained, someone particular popped into my head. I know
a particular person who uses falicy in every day conversation. Falicy makes my
head hurt. Everyone in class began to pack up ten minutes early, I suppose they
figured they were done, even though we weren’t allowed to leave class early.
