Purpose:

I did some research on creative teaching methods after hearing that my 11th-grade students never learned about logical fallacies. I found a fascinating strategy that encouraged student-led learning by providing students with examples of the fallacies before the names of the fallacies and giving them time to discuss the logical imperfections of the quotes. Students took a Think-Pair-Share approach to the start of our logical fallacies unit and built their own understanding of the fallacies before I reinforced what they started.

This resource will help your students own their learning. You will download a PDF with a link to a Canva template that you can edit and download for your class' needs. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions!

Ease of Use:

The slides include everything you need to run the activity. Your students will walk through a table of contents and instructions before encountering a list of untagged logical fallacies. The last slide has an answer key for teacher use/reference.

Download:

The downloadable file is a PDF where you can open a Canva link in your browser that will take you to your own editable slides on Canva. The slides are in a template format which means you can make your own editable copy. Canva pro is NOT required for these slides.

Blessings,
