Logical Fallacies

Today we reviewed and discussed Parts 1-2 of the Vocabulary Unit 8 Worksheet.

Mini-lesson on viewing statistics with skepticism; we looked at charts contrasting public opinion about the leading causes of death among women (breast cancer) with actual causes of death (heart and cardiovascular disease).
After reviewing the logical fallacies in Chapter 48 of The Bedford Handbook, students divided into small groups and worked collectively to solve Exercises #1-10 on p. 516-17.
