Uncovering Fallacies
Overview
Fallacies are common errors in reasoning that undermine arguments. Examples of fallacies are found in advertising, social media, political discourse, and elsewhere. When students learn to identify fallacies in texts they read, they become critical readers and thinkers. This activity introduces students to various fallacies and gives them experience recognizing them.
