1 hour per week. Students will be asked to find examples of logical fallacies in the news, ads, or commercials around them during the week, to bring examples to the following class.Class Experience
Each week students will be evaluating a logical fallacy found in the media, online, in a commercial or advertisement. Students will be encouraged to find logical fallacies to bring to class for discussion as well. After a brief welcome and introduction, we will play a game of "name that logical fallacy". Following that I will introduce and then give examples of the logical fallacies of the week and show some video clips or graphics from major media networks for students to evaluate. Students will be encouraged to give examples from real life arguments using these fallacies and why they are illogical. How to develop a premise and how those relate to conclusions will be developed and we will also practice basic debate skills. This class is ongoing and has developed to continue working with symbolic logic and diagramming arguments.
Learning Goals
Students will learn that logical fallacies are common errors in reasoning that will undermine the logic of your argument. Fallacies can be either illegitimate arguments or irrelevant points, and are often identified because they lack evidence that supports their claim. Students will examine classical fallacies including: classification, systematic, linguistic, formal, informal, measurement, and others. A more complete list of fallacies we will cover can be found in this list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallaciesOther Details
Parental Guidance
An effort is made to not make this class political, so we do attempt to use political news fallacies where we find them, from a variety of news sources. Please be aware that the class may contain people from various diverse political backgrounds and we must make every effort to be supportive and approach these fallacies with understanding and objectivity.
Supply List
Digital handouts and media will be provided as needed.
