flat **Standards** [|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= What is the difference between "immediate" and "mediate" in logic? =Do Now= Is history "abstract" or "concrete"? Why? =Mini-Lesson= **Review:** **abstract -** ideas that are general and broad; assumptions created in the mind **concrete -** objects that are specific and individual; experiences of the five (5) senses **New terms:** **immediate -** how we receive concrete ideas; nothing between our five (5) senses & the object; direct **mediate -** how we receive abstract ideas; a medium or messenger between our five (5) senses & the idea; indirect =Class Activity= The word 'media' always refers to something that helps to transfer something through it. In electricity, metal is the media; in language, the voice is the media. So we need to understand this when we ponder the world around us. While we experience through the five (5) senses, we often receive information through a media or medium. The Latin stem 'med' & 'mid' means between or middle. so media is something between our senses & the concrete object. **1st Round -** What does that mean for logic? **2nd Round -** What is a 'trusted' media? **3rd Round -** How does the Law of Discrimination & Relativity help us choose a 'trusted media'? **4th Round -** Turn to a partner. Share a 'media' that you trust. With your partner come up with a 'media' you both trust. **5th Round -** The debate: Each pair shares their 'trusted media'. Class will attempt to find a common 'trusted media'. =Closing= How much knowledge do we get by immediate experience and how does that compare to the mediate knowledge we get? = Absence Make Up = In order to make up missed material, students need to do the following in their notebooks: Go to Previous Class Go to Next Class
