flat [|CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RH.11-12.3] Evaluate various explanations for actions or events and determine which explanation best accords with textual evidence, acknowledging where the text leaves matters uncertain. [|CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RH.11-12.6] Evaluate authors’ differing points of view on the same historical event or issue by assessing the authors’ claims, reasoning, and evidence. [|CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RH.11-12.9] Integrate information from diverse sources, both primary and secondary, into a coherent understanding of an idea or event, noting discrepancies among sources. **AIM** How do I determine the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning? **Homework** While listening to people around you, try to find examples of people using **inductive** and **deductive** reasoning. **Quiz** Copy the following questions into your notebook or a sheet of paper. Circle the correct answer. **Mini-Lesson** Another way of looking at the difference between "inductive" and "deductive" is to think of their processes. Take down these notes: **Inductive reasoning** goes from a specific (perception or anecdotal) statement to a general (prediction or generalization) statement. **Example:** Suzy is a doctor. Doctors are smart. Suzy is assumed to be smart. **Deductive reasoning** goes from a general (generalization) statement to a specific (prediction) statement. **Example:** All humans are mortal; Socrates is a human; Socrates is mortal. =Class Activity= In pairs identify whether each of the following reasonings are "**inductive**" or "**deductive**". Robert is a teacher. All teachers are nice. Therefore, it can be assumed that Robert is nice. Since all squares are rectangles, and all rectangles have four sides, all squares have four sides. All cats that you have observed purr. Therefore, every cat must purr. All dogs are mammals. All mammals have kidneys. Therefore all dogs have kidneys. All students that have been taught by Mrs. Smith are right handed. So, Mrs. Smith assumes that all students are right handed. All observed basketball players are tall, so all basketball players must be tall. All scientists are smart. Since chemists are scientists, a ll chemists are smart =Closing= Write an example of an inductive and a deductive reasoning statement. = Absence Make Up = In order to make up missed material, students need to do the following in their notebooks:
 * Standards **
 * 1) Which of the following is a **perception**? "Cat" or "Freedom"
 * 2) Which of the following is an **abstraction**? "Odor" or "Irony"
 * 3) Which of the following is an example of using **judgment**? "Smelling a flower" or "Choosing between flowers"
 * 4) Which of the following completes the statement "**A tree is a vegetable, an animal is...**? "Not a tree" or "Not a mammal"
 * 5) In order to know how "hot" it feels, we must perceive...? "Consistent temperature" or "A change in temperature"
 * 6) We can determine what "humans" are only by determining...? "What they do" or "What they aren't"
 * 1) Take the quiz in your notebook.
 * 2) Copy the notes from the Mini-Lesson.
 * 3) Identify whether the statements in the Class Activity are inductive or deductive reasoning.
 * 4) Complete the Closing activity.
