Reading | Faulty Reasoning

LI: to understand faulty reasoning

There are 5 different types/areas of faulty reasoning. Those 5 areas of faulty reasoning are: Illogical/simplified assumption, circular reasoning, over-generalization, biased argument and contradiction.

Our task for reading this week was to identify the different areas of faulty reasoning. First, we had to arrange different texts into the right positions and and areas.  Next we were given 12 different sentences and had to identify which of the 5 faulty reasons were used in the sentences.

We were given 3 different texts in which we had to find 5 or less faulty reasonings and put in which area or sentence(s) we found the faulty reason. We did this for three different texts.
