β€’ Appeal to Ignorance - Claiming something is true because "you can't prove it isn't."

β€’ Genetic Fallacy - Judging an idea purely by who said it rather than the facts.


WHY TEACHERS & PARENTS LOVE THESE PACKS


Most logic resources are dry definitions and matching worksheets. These packs teach through storytelling and humor.


Every single pack follows a proven 3-step sequence:


1. Real History Disaster: A gripping, multi-page illustrated true historical event showing the real-world chaos the fallacy caused (e.g., NASA's Challenger disaster, the 1913 Monte Carlo casino crash, Thalidomide).

2. Original Comic & Breakdown: Duchess and Bruno bring the concept into everyday life, followed by a clear "Break It Down" analysis.

3. Hands-On Practice Sheets: Code Breaker puzzles, real-world media analysis, Draw Your Own Comic challenges, and complete Answer Keys.


✦ Hidden Gizmo Hunt: A sneaky character hidden in every pack that turns learning into a game kids ask to play!
