Do you know what a fallacy is? Discuss this term and its meaning with your class. Then, talk about why making generalizations about a large group of people isn't the best thing to do. As a group, study the included letter excerpt. It talks about how teenagers watch too much television, and how they should all spend more time on their academics.
