1. Discussing new concepts Fallacies are common errors in reasoning that will undermine the logic of your argument. Fallacies can be either
and practicing new skills illegitimate arguments or irrelevant points, and are often identified because they lack evidence that supports their
#1. claim. Avoid these common fallacies in your own arguments and watch for them in the arguments of others.

Fallacies are statements that might sound reasonable or superficially true but are actually flawed or dishonest. A
fallacy is reasoning that comes to a conclusion without the evidence to support it.

and practicing new skills The Bandwagon Fallacy
#2. The False Dilemma Fallacy

Today, the teacher will focus first on Bandwagon and False Dilemma Fallacy.

Bandwagon Fallacy- Just because a significant population of people believe a proposition is true, doesn't
automatically make it true. Popularity alone is not enough to validate an argument, though it's often used as a
standalone justification of validity. Arguments in this style don't take into account whether or not the population
validating the argument is actually qualified to do so, or if contrary evidence exists.

While most of us expect to see bandwagon arguments in advertising (e.g., "three out of four people think X brand
toothpaste cleans teeth best"), this fallacy can easily sneak its way into everyday meetings and conversations.

Example:

The majority of people believe advertisers should spend more money on billboards, so billboards are objectively the
best form of advertisement.

False Dilemma Fallacy- This common fallacy misleads by presenting complex issues in terms of two inherently
opposed sides. Instead of acknowledging that most (if not all) issues can be thought of on a spectrum of
 possibilities and stances, the false dilemma fallacy asserts that there are only two mutually exclusive outcomes.

This fallacy is particularly problematic because it can lend false credence to extreme stances, ignoring
opportunities for compromise or chances to re-frame the issue in a new way.

Examples:

1. We can either agree with Barbara's plan, or just let the project fail. There is no other option.

2. Study now or face poverty. There is no other option.

3.Developing mastery (3 minutes)

DIRECTIONS:
Identify whether the given statement belongs to FALLACY or NOT. Write F if it is an example of fallacy and NF if it is
not.

1. People have been trying for centuries to prove that God exists. But no one has yet been able to prove it.
Therefore, God does not exist.
2. If we don't adopt that puppy today, they might put him down. Do you want to be responsible for that?
3. Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world.
4. Jose Rizal is the national hero of the Philippines.
5. All my friends are doing a low-carb diet. That must be the only way to lose weight.
6. Science is the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through
observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained
7. My grandmother said that we should not sweep the floor at night to avoid bad luck.
8. Education is the key for success; those who will not graduate will have a miserable life.
9. The third planet from the sun, Earth is the only place in the known universe confirmed to host life.
10. The author of the novel, Romeo and Juliet is, William Shakespeare.
4. Finding practical Make your Own (Groupings)(Differentiated Activity)
applications of concepts (10 minutes)
and skills in daily living.
Group 1 (Challenged Students)
DIRECTIONS:
Write two (2) statements using the Bandwagon fallacy and two (2) statements using the False Dilemma fallacy
type.

Group 2 (Advanced)
DIRECTIONS:
 Write two (4) statements using the Bandwagon fallacy and two (4) statements using the False Dilemma fallacy
type.

5. Making generalizations The teacher will review the topic again.

and abstractions about the
lesson. What is a fallacy?

Fallacies are common errors in reasoning that will undermine the logic of your argument. Fallacies can be either
illegitimate arguments or irrelevant points, and are often identified because they lack evidence that supports their
claim.

What else?

5. Evaluate learning (10 minutes)

DIRECTIONS:
Determine whether the given statement or sentence is an example of BANDWAGON fallacy or FALSE DILEMMA
fallacy. Write the correct answer.

1. I saw Candice wearing army pants and flip-flops, so I bought army pants and flip-flops.
2. The new Audi is the most popular car right now; everyone says it's the best.
3. Death is nothing to fear. It is either annihilation or migration.
4. John loves the planet and wants to vote for a political party whose main goal is to prevent global warming. All his
