1.) Send three comments during the debate via remind messaging. 
OR
2.) Prepare a response with three comments (paraphrase with some quotation) from the debate and analysis of how the comments appeal to ethos, logos, or pathos. You may also focus on the absence of ethos or logos, explaining how a particular comment contributes to a lack of credibility or logic.
