Faulty reasoning

For reading we were doing a Faulty reasoning task. We had to put five examples and five answers into each boxes. The five examples were:

The first faulty reasoning is: Illogical / simplified assumption means providing evidence that does not directly support the claim (Hint: There are probably other influences / factors.

The second faulty reasoning is: Circular reasoning means supporting a claim with the same claim.

The third faulty reasoning is: Over-generalization means making a global statement when there are likely exceptions. (Hint: everybody, nobody, always)

The fourth faulty reasoning is: Biased argument Making a claim that is influenced by your own personal feelings or experience.

The last faulty reasoning is: A contradiction. A contradiction is providing evidence that goes against the original argument.

The first activity wasto put the right was to put the right text into the right faulty reason.

The second activity was to guess which text should go into the right box for example: The school uniform is ugly becasue it is not attractive which is a circular reasoning.

The third activity was an individual task. We had to read three text letters and find 5 examples of the faulty reasoning. and put them into the box.
