Description
This 19x13” poster correlates with The Art of Argument course,
but can be a useful visual tool for anyone studying fallacies. While Appendix C
in the Teacher’s Edition (033092) provides a quick reference of these concepts,
this poster offers a quick and helpful reference for personal or group use.
Start with the “at issue” question, followed by relevance, presumption, and
clarity questions. The tree helps guide students through the steps to determine
whether an argument is valid or invalid, whether the arguments are strong/solid
or weak. Informal fallacies are divided further by those of relevance, clarity,
and presumption—28 in total. Use this tool to help reinforce concepts and
effectively evaluate students’ own and others’ arguments. ~ Ruth
Publisher's Description of Art of Argument Poster
The Art of Argument Poster, supplemental material aligned with the revised edition of the student text, will aid students in the memorization and further comprehension of the logical fallacies. Adorn your classroom walls with fallacies to gain familiarity and ease with the subject material!
Category Description for Logic Series From Classical Academic Press
Laced with humor and practical applications, Classical Academic Press strives to make logic accessible. And succeeds, too! The series has more background material than other logic books plus lots of "modern" examples. Making great use of dialogues and cartoons, there are some practice exercises but the emphasis is more on the "meat" of the text rather than on doing exercises. This sets them apart from other logic courses and makes them the perfect choice for students who want or need background information more than practice. This series is user-friendly and requires very little prep on the teacher's part although teacher-student interaction is necessary to maximize the learning. Art of Argument would be the starting place for a Jr. High student followed by Argument Builder and/or Discovery of Deduction, which can stand alone or be used together.
Each Student Text is designed to be worked in with the student thinking through and writing out responses to the material being presented. Teacher Editions are predominantly full-text answer keys but often include teacher's notes (a list of suggestions and recommendations for teaching the course) as well as ideas for supplementing and enriching the study. ~ Janice
Category Description for Art Of Argument
Socrates is the "go to" person when it comes to fallacies (occurrence of bad or incorrect reasoning) and his perspective on the three basic categories - fallacies of irrelevance (points that don't relate to the issue), of presumption (assumptions that are not justified or necessary), and of clarity (language that confuses and muddies) - is sought via time-travel. Several examples of each are provided plus the student has the opportunity to identify fallacies in cleverly fabricated magazine advertisements. Fallacies are printed on the inside covers of the Student Text for easy reference. Both Student and TE (each about 230 pgs, pb) have appendices that include a play and a short story that illustrate fallacies as well as a Glossary and Bibliography. TE includes reproducible chapter, unit, and final exams (with answer key). DVDs include 28 sessions (one for each fallacy) in which three teachers and 4 students present, define, discuss and explain the fallacy. As in the text, the DVDs emphasize a practical application to the student's life through advertisements, political speeches, and various moral/ethical debates.
