This lesson explores logical fallacies, those sneaky errors in reasoning that can warp our arguments and cloud our judgment. Through a fun and creative writing exercise, students use fallacies to create intentionally misleading (and humorous) arguments. They then analyze each others’ arguments to identify the fallacies and gain critical thinking skills to unmask deceptive claims in everyday life.
