1. Please post your response to one of this week’s prompts. Respond to two classmates.
The photo below is a picture of me pretending to kiss a statue of Edgar Allan Poe in Boston, Massachusetts, a day after graduating from Northeastern University, where I completed my Doctorate.
Boston, a few minutes from Cambridge, where the final scenes of The Great Debaters is set, has a rich history in the World for being a global center of education, technology, and medicine. With M.I.T., Harvard, Boston College, and Northeastern, Massachusetts is a powerhouse of influence in the World of innovation. With this in mind, compare and contrast the debaters’ experiences in Wiley, Texas, and Cambridge, Massachusetts, and how that may have impacted why they received an invitation to debate Harvard.
2. In her first debate attempt, Samantha Booke cites one of President Franklin
D. Roosevelt’s fireside chats, a series of 31 talks he gave via radio between
1933 and 1944. Melvin B. Tolson, the debate coach, states she’s used the
faulty assumption fallacy because fireside chats are not reputable sources.
Consider how you evaluate sources. Should presidential addresses be
considered reputable sources for a debate? Why or why not?
3. How would you evaluate the arguments given by the debaters in the final debate? How would their arguments be judged in a modern debate?
