How to Use The Fallacy Detective in a Classroom

We wrote this book to meet the needs of Christian parents who want a do-able text for introducing logic and critical thinking to their children.

  • Fun to use – not dry like a math textbook.
  • Self-teaching – not intimidating, starts students with skills they can use right away.
  • Each lesson has exercises for students, with an answer key at the back.
  • Covers logical fallacies and propaganda techniques. We divided the most common fallacies and propaganda techniques into thirty-six lessons. We explain how you can spot fallacies, and we give exercises to stretch your abilities for detecting fallacies.
  • Geared for ages thirteen and older – we suggest using The Fallacy Detective before advancing onto more difficult logic programs.
  • Includes The Fallacy Detective Game, giving you and your friends an entertaining way to spot and make up your own examples of fallacies.

This edition is the same as the first edition (published May, 2002), except we have added cartoons to illustrate the logical fallacies discussed, including Peanuts, Dilbert, Calvin and Hobbes, and several original cartoons.

and the Random Blogger will receive the book, Bless the Lord

 

Bless the Lord: The 103rd Psalm

 

Trivium Pursuit is pleased to announce the release of their newest children's picture book Bless the Lord: The 103rd Psalm. This is the second in the Illustrated Psalm series by artist Johannah Bluedorn. In addition to the 30 paintings illustrating the text, the psalm is set to music.

About the author/illustrator: Johannah Bluedorn has been homeschooled all her life and is self-taught in art. Skilled in the use of a variety of media, Johannah has illustrated several other children's books, including Little Bitty Baby Learns Hebrew, My Mommy My Teacher, The Lord Builds the House: The 127th Psalm, and The Story of Mr. Pippin (all published by Trivium Pursuit), and From Dark to Dawn: A Tale of Martin Luther and the Reformation and Raising Maidens of Virtue (both published by Books on the Path). In her spare time, she raises Jersey cows, trains her horse, and enjoys many types of handwork. Johannah lives with her family in New Boston, Illinois.

I have reviewed this book on my blog if you are interested - it is beautiful!!
