# Slippery Slope Fallacy Activity Pack | Critical Thinking Activities **Price:** $8.95 AUD **Seller:** TeachBuySell Seller **Year Levels:** noYearLevel **Subjects:** english ## Description (seller-submitted) "First you'll cut out meat, then one day you'll be sipping kale juice out of a watermelon!"
