Start by reading the article “Fallacies of Logic: Argumentation Cons” by Irving Shapiro. Then, using the types of arguments listed in this article or in the module readings, respond to the following:

1. Draft two original fallacies. Do not identify the fallacies, allow your peers to determine what fallacy your example represents.

2. Research a third informal fallacy.

3. Identify and define the fallacy. For example, appeal to tradition, false dichotomy, etc.

4. Explain why this type of fallacy is a bad way of reasoning.

5. Construct an original fallacy argument of that type.
