Pass up your essays to me!
Open your book to page 98 and look over vocabulary

2. Common Fallacies Fallacies – things that are false/not true
These are problems with argumentation.
You think that the reason supports your claim but it is not good support.

3. Look and Read p. 99 Fallacies Hasty (quick) generalizations
Too simple generalizations
Correlation does not show causation
Restating the claim over and over again
False analogy
Ignoring other options or possibilities
Non-expert opinion

4. Correlation does not equal Causation
On the days when the most ice cream is sold, more people drown.
Therefore, ice cream causes drowning.
Why is this a fallacy?
Just because more ice cream is sold does not mean it causes drowning.
However, on days when the most ice cream is sold it is usually hotter. More people go swimming when it is hot.

5. Be careful
When trying to support your claim, be sure that you avoid common fallacies.
Let's look at some samples.
Look at the bottom of 100/top of 101
What type of fallacies are in these samples?

6. Answers
1) Correlation does not equal causation (post hoc)

7. Idioms
An idiom is a word or a phrase that has a particular non-literal meaning
They can be nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbials, or a full sentence (like a proverb).

8. Types of Idioms Similes (uses like, as, or as if)
Metaphor (uses direct language. “If you cheat and come to my office to beg my heart is a stone” My heart is not literally a stone.
Metonymy – a play on words
Synecdoche - using a part as a whole.
Personification – granting human characteristics to non-human things

9. Idioms - cont
Euphemism – using indirect words or phrases to talk about something else, usually in a nicer way.
Hyperbole – use of exaggeration for effect
Irony – use words to express the opposite meaning of the literal meaning
Transferred epithet – using an adjective on a different word than the noun intended
Oxymoron – contradictory phrase “jumbo shrimp”

10. Idioms are difficult Many times idioms are misused by EFL learners.
In most academic writing, keep idioms to a minimum.
If you use an idiom, make sure you use it correctly.
Many times I have seen the phrase “if he has no pains there are no gains.” this is a misused idiom.

11. Get in groups of 3-5
In your group,make a list of English idioms that you can think of.
See how many you can come up with in five minutes.
You don't have to understand it's meaning, but try to write ones that you have heard before.
No dictionaries, phones, or translators for this!
