Assignment:

1. The idea is to find an instance of someone committing a fallacy.

Thus, you are NOT finding illustrations of fallacies. So, you are NOT to Google a particular fallacy, find examples of it and submit that. Such a submission will NOT count.
Rather, look in an opinionated article, social media (which has a ton), a political speech, or somewhere else where someone is expressing their opinion and trying to argue. There you will very likely find them committing (not illustrating) a fallacy.
NOTE: Each of the 7 must be 7 DIFFERENT fallacies, from 7 different sources. Thus, you cannot submit more than one Appeal to Emotion, for example; nor can you use one article (for example) for all your fallacies.

2. What to submit.

If the selection you find is online, you can take a screenshot or copy the page somehow, highlight where the person is committing the fallacy, name the fallacy they are committing, save the screenshot, or copy, as a PDF or JPEG.
If a video (e.g., YouTube), then submit the link, plus the minutes and second where the fallacy is occurring. (NOTE: You can use at most 2 videos).
