explique las diferencias entre recursos retóricos y falacias lógicas.
Provide small groups of students with the text for an advertisement that includes rhetorical devices and logical fallacies. Task students with reading the text and identifying specific examples of rhetorical devices and logical fallacies. Have students complete a graphic organizer to guide their work as they discuss the differences between rhetorical devices and logical fallacies.
List the text example |
Is it a rhetorical device? Does the author include repetition, analogies, or juxtaposition to prove how reasonable it is? |
Is it a logical fallacy? Does the author make the idea appear more reasonable than it really is? |
This SE requires students to understand how writers use specific phrasing, sentences, and example types to make the argument clear and relatable to the audience. Students should be aware that writers can use some of these same devices to manipulate language and misrepresent the facts supporting an idea, creating logical fallacies that make an idea appear more reasonable than it realistically is. Students should be able to recognize and describe the differences between the two strategies.
