# Appeal to Emotion Fallacy Activity Pack | Critical Thinking Activities **Price:** $12.95 AUD **Seller:** TeachBuySell Seller **Year Levels:** noYearLevel **Subjects:** english ## Description (seller-submitted) "After everything I've done for you, saying no would break my heart."

Through an illustrated true story, a funny comic, and hands-on activities featuring Duchess and Bruno, learners don't just memorise a definition.
