Description

If you're like us at Duchess and Bruno, you want the people you love or care for to understand how propaganda works. We do too and that's what our activity packs are designed to do.


Our Anecdotal Fallacy Question Pack dives into history to show how personal claims of something being safe can lead to catastrophe.


This 11-question pack to our Anecdotal Fallacy Activity Pack dives deep into the fallacy with the drug Thalidomide in the 1950s.


See how doctors and mothers recommended the drug to pregnant mothers, not realising that personal recommendations without real-world safety testing is a terrible idea.


What’s Inside?

  • 4 Fallacy Questions: Explore the fallacy with clear questions that make it easy to understand.
  • 7 History Questions: Uncover what happened and why the fallacy was able to play out.
  • Answer Sheet: See a quick answer guide to help with understanding!


Why Your Kids Will Love It:


This pack makes learning fallacies easy and unforgettable. The historical examples helps your child question manipulation techniques (e.g. propaganda) and spot when people are not telling them the truth. It's perfect for middle schoolers, families, or classrooms, and it works with or without our Activity Pack.


How to Use It:


Download the digital PDF to print (as worksheets or as a booklet - it is up to you!). Your child can research the questions, or you can answer them together, making it ideal for homeschooling, tutoring, or family nights.
