Study print media and identify five items that represent five different fallacies.
Instructions: Compile your fallacy Journal as instructed below:
The journal is a presentation of five fallacies from the print media. Study print media and identify five items that represent five different fallacies. The best sources are editorials, letters to the editor, and advertisements. You can also use business documents.
For each entry, cut out the article/advertisement and highlight the portion that contains the fallacy. Paste it to a sheet of paper and type a paragraph that includes the following:
-What fallacy it commits.
-Provide a definition of the fallacy.
-Support you decision (fallacy choice) and provide reasoning (persuade me) as to WHY you have reached this conclusion. This is an exercise in your ability to be persuasive (rather than just identifying fallacy types) and make your case-so argue your position well.
– To sum it up-Name the fallacy, Define the fallacy, and Explain how the fallacy occurs.
