In pairs, you will find 6 tv/video/digital commercials that display fallacies.Use only the fallacies that occur in the Big Think article from Tuesday. One commercial per fallacy. No more than 3 of your commercials can be political ads. Your commercials must be from 2018 to the present. Please explain the fallacy and how it appears in the commercial. See example in the slides.

After, you read the chapter, please note something that stands out to you and tie it into an RLS of your choice. Please include a second order knowledge with your post.

Identify something that stood out to you in the reading. Relate it to one RLS (don't forget to cite) and also ask a second order knowledge question.

Explain your answer. Support your answer with the ideas from this lesson.

Use these slides for todays group work

Please reflect on Kants chapter. What in particular stands out to you? I would also like for you to include a relevant RLS and a 2nd order KQ (one that pertains to knowledge and is open ended).

Please answer the above question. Incorporate an RLS and a knowledge question. Ethics is a tricky beast in TOK. When utilizing it as an AOK, you typically utilize an ethical framework (utilitarianism, etc) and approach the ethical dilemma in that way...Just a fun fact.

Please rework your original 150 word essay to include the following:
2 key thinkers and a quote from one of them or someone else. This is used to support you knowledge claims. These key thinkers must support your thesis and RLS'. Remember, if you quote, you must cite.

Please read the chapter and then discuss what stands out to you in Chapter 3. Please include an RLS (with link if necessary) AND a knowledge question that you could apply to this particular ethical framework aka libertarianism The knowledge question is open ended and about knowledge or the process of gaining knowledge. You can bank these KQs in your journals for future use in your assessments at the end of the year.

Refer to what we’ve seen today in your answer.

Upload one slide deck per pair. Make sure names are on the slides. The person that doesn't upload the slide deck can submit a blank assignment.
