Summary
Students will explore their available resources to find out about Syllogism and the Law of Detachment. Once they have discovered the basic information, they will work in a group of 3 to develop a product to demonstrate each law of logic (syllogism and detachment) as well as one that does not fit either of these laws. These products can be created with any multimedia presentation tool (Blabberize, Prezi, PowerPoint, MovieMaker, ActiveInspire, Poster, ComicStrip, etc.) These products will be shared with the class to demonstrate the 2 different laws of logic and to help students to identify the differences and similarities, as well as identify which is which. At that time students will share the products and determine which law is represented or if it is neither law. Students will also discuss the products to determine the accuracy of the demonstration/example. Other examples will be shown, like the Direct TV commercials in the Syllogism format, provided by the teacher, as well as pictures books like “If You Give a Moose a Muffin”, or “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie”.
TIPC Ratings
Students are using their readily available resources and research skills to find out what Law of Syllogism and Law of Detachment are and to find pictures and sounds to help create their product. Students will cite the source of their information, as well as the pictures and sounds they will use in their product.
Students will be working in collaborative groups pre-determined by the teacher. Students will determine within their groups which group member will create which of the three products. Students are creating demonstrations for each law of logic to share with the class.
Students will be selecting appropriate sounds and pictures to include in their law of logic demonstration product. Students are developing a demonstration product for one of the laws of logic (or neither). Students will select which presentation media they will use to develop their demonstration. Student examples will demonstrate an understanding of the laws.
Students will be creating a product to demonstrate one of the logic laws (or neither), it will include pictures, sounds, and accurately depict the law.
