Logical Fallacies Doodle Notes
Formal Logical Fallacies and Informal Fallacies - Guided Visual Doodle Notes:
The 5 page doodle note lesson includes:
- valid, sound logical reasoning vs. logical fallacies
- modus ponens and modus tollens
- the types of logical fallacies
- formal logical fallacies along with detailed examples of some of the most common, including affirming the consequent (fallacy of the converse), denying the antecedent (fallacy of the inverse), four terms fallacy, affirming a disjunct, and denying a conjunct
- informal fallacies along with detailed examples of some of the most common, including appeal to authority, strawman, bandwagon (ad populum), red herring, false dilemma, slippery slope, hasty generalization, ad hominem, and begging the question / circular reasoning (petitio principii)
- matching & identifying fallacies in real life with sample arguments / propaganda
- practice and examples
When students color or doodle in math class, it activates both hemispheres of the brain at the same time. There are proven benefits of this cross-lateral brain activity:
- new learning
- relaxation (less math anxiety)
- visual connections
- better memory & retention of the content!
Students fill in the sheets, answer the questions, and color, doodle or embellish. Then, they can use it as a study guide later on. Graphic doodle and sketch notes take full advantage of Dual Coding Theory (the way brains process visual and linguistic information) to maximize retention.
Check out the preview images for more detail about this item and the research behind it.
Visual note taking strategies like sketch notes or doodle notes are based on dual coding theory. When we can blend the text input with graphic/visual input, the student brain processes the information differently and can more easily convert the new learning into long-term memory.
This strategy also integrates the left and right hemispheres of the brain to increase focus, learning, and retention!
