Faulty Reasoning | Reading

 LI: To understand faulty reasoning.

This week for reading we were learning about faulty reasoning. There are five different types of faulty reasoning. They are: Illogical / Simplified Assumptions, Circular Reasoning, Over-Generalization, Biased Argument & Contradiction. We had six tasks. The first task was matching the example and definition of which faulty reasoning we think it was. The second task was to read a piece of text and find out the type of faulty reasoning it was. For the third task we had twelve sentences and we had to try and think about what faulty reasoning they were. For the fourth task we had to read another piece of text and pick out some sentences and write what we think they were. The last two activities we did the same thing but with different texts.
