Selection 1: Rhetorical terminology and logical fallacies

Big Idea: While it’s important that we can identify the type of text we see online, we also need to be able to understand how language itself might be used to shift our opinions or shade the truth.

Use this glossary of rhetorical terms and logical fallacies to guide your work. Be sure to download it.

Assignment: Apply the PATTR strategy (found in the glossary) and look at any article you’ve looked at today. Identify at least two aspects of the article (such as P + T) Use evidence so that you can prove you understand the terms. Copy your examples into the assignment sheet. Examples that are not clearly explained and include a quotation will not receive credit.
