			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Today, we</h2>
<ol>
<li>introduced a classmate using maps of Japan (Kansai) and China);</li>
<li>corrected our written book reports (N.B. write the title of your book like this, &#8220;Book Title&#8221;);</li>
<li>studied the structure of an English sentence: a sentence must have a verb, a capital letter at the beginning of the first word, and a period (.) or question mark (?) or exclamation mark (!) at the end. A sentence usually has a subject and often has a predicate (その他）.</li>
<li>We copied down several sentences and marked the subject, verb and predicate.</li>
<li>Then we read several sentences and checked if they were complete (correct) sentences or not.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Homework:</h2>
<p>None!</p>

<p>A comment from Mr. Yoshida:</p>
<blockquote><p>In today&#8217;s class, we learned about  appeal to authority 権威を誤って伝え, faulty assumption間違った臆測 and false analogy謝った類推</p>
<p>My most important and best benefit is appeal to authority. So, high-ranking people&#8217;s support is not proof.</p></blockquote>

<p>Q:What is needed for a peaceful society?</p>
<p>A:Mm&#8230;</p>
<p>I will about these things from now on.</p>
<p>Homework is difficult, but I will do my best.</p>
<p>See you next Wednesday!</p>
<h2>Homework:</h2>
<p>Translate and analyze this paragraph. Are there any vague generalizations, vague terms, faulty reasoning, non-sequiturs, appeals to consensus, etc?</p>
<blockquote><p>There is a new theory about how the the universe was born. It is supported by many respected scientists. According to this theory, a cloud of antimatter collided with a cloud of matter. Stars were created which gave out energy in pulses. These pulses would make stars twinkle. Researchers have found that all stars twinkle. Therefore, this theory is correct.</p></blockquote>
