Quotations

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a tool for students to practice identifying logical fallacies in various forms of communication. It provides a table with two columns: one for quotations and another for the type of logical fallacy. Students are instructed to watch an assigned video or read a text and then note down specific quotations along with the type of logical fallacy each quotation represents. The worksheet is structured to facilitate a clear connection between the content consumed and the logical fallacies it may contain.

The worksheet is intended to teach students how to actively listen or read for logical fallacies, which are flaws in reasoning that weaken arguments. It promotes critical thinking by encouraging students to analyze and critique the arguments presented in a video or text. This activity helps to develop students’ understanding of what constitutes a strong argument versus a weak one based on logical soundness. By completing this worksheet, students gain the skills to become more discerning consumers of information and more adept at constructing logical arguments themselves.
