Instructions: Each student will compile a journal as directed below:
1. The journal is a presentation of FIVE fallacies from the print media. Study print media and identify five items that represent five different fallacies. The best sources are editorials, letters to the editor, and advertisements. You can also use business documents.
2. For each entry, cut out the article/advertisement and highlight the portion that contains the fallacy. Paste it to a sheet of paper, and type a one-page paragraph explanation explaining:
• Which fallacy it commits.
• WHY you think it is that. The emphasis in this assignment is the persuasiveness of your “WHY” argument, rather than the precise identification of fallacies. So argue your position well!
• To sum it up, name the fallacy and explain how the fallacy occurs.
