Fallacies are a huge component of argumentation, both in how they are used and how you need to identitfy them. Your assignment is to read the following article:

https://thebestschools.org/magazine/15-logical-fallacies-know/

Then, write a full 2 page paper (typed apa style, spacing, etc.) that highlights personal examples (from either life experiences or in class) where you encountered several of these fallacies and how you successfully argued against them OR how they were successful in shutting down your point of view. Knowledge of these fallacies might be helpful moving forward (hint-hint)!
