What to do:
1) Plan your definition slide. You may use your phones
or computers to research.
2) Plan your example slides. Go back to your logical
fallacies notes (tracking page) and/or Post-It notes to
find examples of your fallacy.
3) Complete the planning pages for as many examples
as you can find.
4) Share with a teacher when you are done.
5) Once approved, go to the computer lab and begin
creating your PowerPoint as a group.
Appeal to Popularity
• When someone agrees with a
statement/policy just because the general
population does; Bandwagon.

and Winston, 2007. 1235. Print.

Appeal to Popularity:
Abigail: I want to open myself! I want to go back to Jesus…I
saw Sarah Good with the Devil! I saw Goody Osburn with
the Devil! I saw Bridget Bishop with the Devil!
Betty: I saw George Jacobs with the Devil! I saw Goody
Howe with the Devil!
Miller, Arthur. “The Crucible”. Penguin Group. New York: Penguin Publishing, 2012. 48.
Print.
This is an appeal to popularity
fallacy because Abigail began
naming witches after Tituba was
forced to name some and saw
the attention and approval she
received for doing so. Once
Abigail begins, Betty follows her
in crying out more names.
