- After the above paragraph, begin your Annotated Bibliography.
Carefully follow all guidelines below and refer to the sample at the end.
Guidelines:
Please very carefully review your textbook, your lesson, and the discussion board for this week before beginning. The annotated bibliography is formatted in a particular manner, and there are different types of annotated bibliographies. Yours must be analytical in nature in that you are not just explaining the source’s contents, but also performing evaluations on your sources and connecting them to your own purposes. Your sources will be in alphabetical order, all referenced in correct APA style, and each followed by a rich paragraph analyzing the source. The paragraph must be formatted according to APA standards, with correct indentations and spacing. For an example of formatting for a full annotated bibliography, see your book. Each annotation should include a very brief overview, then a close look at specific points, ideas and information from the source that stand out to you as important in the context of your own argument. Use evidence from the source and explain how and why it is a viable source in general, and then specifically why it is valuable to you, to one of your specific points/purposes. Finally, note if the source backs or opposes other sources on your list and how. In short, dig deeply and use your annotations as preparation for structuring and drafting your paper. ENGL147N Advanced English Composition Week 4 Assignment Logical Fallacies Presentation: Poking (and Plugging) Holes in Arguments Required Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:
Textbook: pp. 157-173 Lesson Sample Presentation download
Instructions
For this assignment, complete the following:
Review from the lesson and textbook readings the types of logical fallacies and examples. Locate three advertisements online that were posted no later than one year ago. The advertisements may be any of the following types, and they do not need to all be the same type: Advertisements for products, such as for a beauty product or an automobile Political campaign ads Advertisements that pop up on your social media threads, like on Facebook or Instagram Keep in mind that this assignment requires you to identify logical fallacies, so choose your three advertisements carefully, looking for those in which you do see clear and identifiable logical fallacies at work. Search until you have three advertisements that will work well for this assignment on logical fallacies.
Create a PowerPoint presentation consisting of 11 slides:
An introduction slide with your name, the class, and the title of your presentation- don't be afraid to get creative with your title! On one slide, show and cite the advertisement. On another slide, name the fallacy that occurs and define the fallacy. For example, if you see an Ad Hominem fallacy, you will note that there is an Ad Hominem Fallacy and offer a definition of "Ad Hominem" using your own wording. Do not simply copy the definition from the lesson or textbook. On the next slide, explain how and why a specific portion of the ad represents this specific fallacy. Be thorough and clear. Repeat the above process with your other two advertisements. You should have three slides for each advertisement, for a total of nine body slides A References slide in which you provide full APA-correct references for your three advertisements. You should not have additional references because everything else in your presentation should simply represent your learning in this module. Note: Include everything on your slides visually. If you'd like to use voice-over, that's fine; just note that you will be graded on what is visually on the slides only. You may be as visually creative as you would like! Writing Requirements Length: 11 full PowerPoint slides Text that is large enough for an audience to read Full and proper APA in-text citation and Referencing for the information used from the three advertisements No sources other than the three advertisements ENGL147N Advanced English Composition Week 5 Assignment Full Draft of the Argument Research Essay Required Resources
