This is Tuesday night's homework.
Hasty conclusion like toy balloon: easy blow up, easy pop.
–Charlie Chan at the Race Track
Here are 10 logical fallacies. In order to augment the reading from our packet, research them here* and then create for your blog three short scenarios: two of which are examples that you make up using any two of the fallacies below and one that is meant to be logically consistent. In class, we’ll examine these paragraphs and see if the class can guess which is which. Make sure that it’s not obvious that you’re using a fallacy. Make us work; make us better.
- Begging the Question
- Slippery Slope
- False Dilemma
- Post Hoc
- Biased Sample
- Gambler’s Fallacy
- Hasty Generalization
- Ad Hominem
