    This in-class activity will help you learn more about other logical fallacies that exist. It will also give you a chance to try your hand at writing a few logical fallacies of your own. Writing your own logical fallacies is a way to better understand the structure of a logical fallacy.

    In-class Group Work:

    This activity has 4 parts and requires working with a partner.

    Part 1) Visit yourlogicalfallacyis.com . Click on at least three logical fallacies to learn more about them and see a sample of each.

    Part 2) Now write a sample sentence for each of those 3 logical fallacies.

    Part 3) Swap your sample sentences with a partner without telling them what logical fallacy you selected for each.

    Part 4) Use yourlogicalfallacyis.com as a resource to try to identify the logical fallacy of your partner’s sample sentences.
