Course Description: Middle school is a great time to introduce formal logic! Your student's brain has reached a point of neurological development where he or she is ready to grapple with and consider material in a logical manner. This course combines the concrete with the abstract with a method that will lead your student to develop a habit of stepping back, analyzing a situation, and thinking logically. By skillfully and methodically completing this course, your student will know the concepts surrounding 15 different fallacies -- and gain the ability to decipher, analyze, and contend with logical fallacies. Following this course, continue exploring the topic by signing up for Detecting Logical Fallacies, Part Two.
