Activity: Knowing when we are lied to.

You job is:
Figure out which fallacy is being used.
Write down how you know that fallacy is being used.
As a group, create an image or write an argument using that fallacy.
Activity: Knowing when we are being lied to.
Be ready to share
Which fallacy your group had.
The best example of that fallacy from your sources.
What your group created.
When working in groups
Remember that everyone has something to contribute.
Listen first, speak second.
Help each other first, then ask me.
Be safe for everyone. Be kind to everyone. Assume the best in everyone
Everyone does all parts, but we are responsible for our roles.
Roles
Facilitator
The facilitator helps guide the group. They listen to everyone, try to help figure out what the best ideas are, and make sure everyone has a role and chance to contribute.
The facilitator DOES NOT: control the group, come up with all the ideas, ignore any members of the group
Roles
Recorder
The recorder: makes sure all of the important information is written down, listens carefully for everyone’s contribution.
The recorder DOES NOT: do all of the work, write down only their ideas, ignore members of the group.
Roles
Reporter
The reporter speaks for the group, makes sure everyone has a voice, and helps others communicate.
The reporter DOES NOT speak only for themselves, ignore the contributions of others, talk over people.
Roles
Quality Control
The quality control makes sure all work is completed, that everyone is getting things done on time, and that everything is the best that the group can produce.
Quality control DOES NOT do all the work, let other people distract the group, ignore time, let the work be less than the best the group can do.
