CONTENTS
You may do 5 fallacies for extra credit.
The fallacies must be different.

2. Include enough of the article to show the fallacy in context.
3. Underline fallacious part of the article. or (Highlight)
4. If more than one fallacy occurs in an article, number them.
5. No more than 2 advertisements allowed in the entire fallacy notebook..
6. No more than 2 cartoons allowed in the entire fallacy notebook.
7. No more than 2 letters to the editor allowed in the entire fallacy notebook.
8. No articles from the National Enquirer, Star, Reader's Digest, People, Us, or like publications allowed in the entire fallacy notebook.
Please note: Neatness and whether or not all instructions have been followed will be factors in the grade.
You may use any of the fallacy types listed in Hurley or in Damer, but you may only include one example of each fallacy type in your notebook. Do not use the actual fallacy examples from your book as the fallacies that you have "found" and put them in your notebook-- your text is not a source for your fallacies. You must find them in the appropriate sources and your text is not an appropriate source. This warning is also an example of Contents rule #2 as your textbook was published prior to your first day of class. Also, where your text notes multiple kinds of a type of fallacy (in Hurley there are 3 kinds of the fallacy type ad hominem, abusive, circumstantial, and you too) you may not submit one article for each.
Use Newspapers or News Magazines as your sources.
Lastly, I am available before and after class to review your articles.
