Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a learning tool designed to educate students about logical fallacies. It asks three questions that require students to engage with the concept of logical fallacies at different levels. The first question prompts the student to define a logical fallacy. The second question requires the identification and definition of the two main categories of logical fallacies, providing a table for students to fill in, and the third question asks for examples of different types of logical fallacies.

The worksheet’s aim is to introduce students to the concept of logical fallacies and develop their understanding of how they are categorized. By defining what a logical fallacy is, students learn to recognize incorrect arguments that may appear in debate or persuasive writing. Identifying the categories of fallacies helps students to structure their knowledge and understand the broader concepts within which individual fallacies fall. Lastly, by listing examples, students become familiar with specific fallacies, an essential skill for critical thinking and logical reasoning.
