writing a response to last night's debate

[SusanAR]

My ds is taking Am Gov this year. I assigned a response paper to last night's presidential debate. What should I require other than the strong/ weak points made by each candidate, general observations (body lang & speech patterns), and ds's personal response?

Thanks,
Susan

How about a look at the questions. What does he think of them? Were they well worded? Were they answered? Just a quick thought. It's a great assignment.

:001_smile:Ohh, that is a good suggestion. I knew you WTMers would have bright ideas!

How about rhetoric analysis? Did the speaker rely on logos, ethos or pathos centered arguments?
