I’ll need to check research today and grade groups C and D.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch…we’ll talk about logical fallacies. Here are 10 logical fallacies. Research them here and then create for your blog 3 short paragraphs: 2 of which are examples of fallacies and 1 which is meant to be logically consistent. In class, we’ll run these paragraphs and see if the class can guess which is which. Make sure that it’s not obvious that you using a fallacy. Make us work.
- Circular Argument
- Slippery Slope
- Either/Or
- Post Hoc
- Anecdotal Fallacy
- Gambler’s Fallacy
- Hasty Generalization
- Ad Hominem
- Straw Man
- Tu Quoque
We’re looking for starter draft on the 17th, a full-length draft by the 23rd and then final papers by the 29th and 31st.
