Master Books' Introduction to Logic: Informal Fallacies introduces logic - the principles of correct reasoning - from a Christian perspective. Students will learn to understand how logic is different from other areas they might have conflated it with (like science, or stoicism) and they'll see how God is pro-reason and how logic intersects with what we know of God through His Word. Chapters cover the basics of inductive and deductive reasoning, if the Christian faith is illogical, syllogisms, and other foundational concepts before examining specific informal logical fallacies such as accent, hasty generalization, beginning the question, the birfucation fallacy, the No True Scotsman Fallacy, the Slippery Slope, the Strawman, and more. Full-color chapters feature helpful colorful charts and illustrations with important words highlighted. Grades 8-10.
The teacher's guide covers 180 days of instruction and includes a weekly lesson schedule, student worksheets & practice sheets, quizzes & a final exam, and a line-listed answer key. Worksheets include a chapter view followed by short answer questions. Each worksheet is labeled with the day, chapter and worksheet number for easy tracking.
