Groups and Fallacies presentations....

Topic:                      Assigned Logical Fallacies.
Audience:                English 102
Purpose:                  To define what your assigned fallacy is and design a quick, 5 question test for us to take to make sure we understand the fallacy.

Present as a Prezi, next class.  Below (1, 2, and 3) are the things your Prezi must accomplish.

1.  Define your topic thoroughly.

Sample:

One of the logical fallacies is "Appeal to Authority."  This is aka "Argumentum ad Verecundiam" or "argument from modesty." 

The definition is "accepting someone's argument because of his or her authority," and the argument is structured like this, according to wikipedia:
"the argument has the following basic structure: [1]
Most of what authority A has to say on subject matter S is correct.
A says P about subject matter S.
Therefore, P is correct.
The strength of this authoritative argument depends upon two factors: [1][2]
  1. The authority is a legitimate expert on the subject.
  2. There exists consensus among legitimate experts in the subject matter under discussion."

Provide examples from published writing (2)
