Before starting, read over the handout on logical fallacies, as well as a few from the logical fallacies master list. You may do this writing exercise instead of the “fallacies in your life” exercise in this module — I will give credit for one of these, but not both.
In this assignment, you have a chance to be creative and advocate a particular product, app, or even person as a short presentation. Heres the catch: You need to sell us on this idea incorporating a minimum of at least 3 logical fallacies. Furthermore, you’ll be posting a video of you doing this (it’s alright if you don’t want to appear on video, but we need to at least hear your voice).
Initial Post
Please post a link to your video as an unlisted YouTube link. It should include be no more than 5 minutes in length and include the following:
- The person, product, or app that you want to advocate for.
- A an explanation detailing all the reasons we should support, adopt, or buy whatever it is you are selling
In addition, include the following as a written part of your initial post with the video
- A short reflection at the end detailing which fallacies you were attempting to incorporate (particularly if theyre from the large master list).
Try to avoid anything obscene, but be as creative and over the top with this as youd like.
