Start your post by explaining, in your own words, what logical fallacies are and why they should be avoided in persuasive writing. For example, how might logical fallacies affect a writer’s appeal to ethos and logos? How is a fallacious argument different from a bad argument?
Then, find and identify at least three fallacies in one (or more) persuasive piece. Good places to locate logical fallacies are in
advertisements, political speeches, letters to the editor, cartoons, and articles in magazines or newspapers. Name the fallacy type and explain why the example is a fallacy (i.e. What is the flaw in the reasoning?). Include the images or a link to the article or
advertisement.
