[|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 apply the three types of reasoning or logic? =Do Now= Reflect on Monday's class discussion. How did you see students using perception, abstraction, judgment & the law of discrimination & relativity? Did students apply the equation: A is A; A cannot be B? =Homework= We will have a quiz over the terms we have discussed: perception, abstraction, judgment, the law of discrimination & relativity, A is A; A cannot be B for Monday's Do Now. Study the terms and make sure you have them to study. =Mini-Lesson= There are 3 types of reasoning or logic: 1) basic **inference** or **prediction**: If the rock falls when I drop it, then every time I drop the rock it will fall. 2) **induction**: If a rock falls when I drop it, then any rock will drop when I drop it. 3) **Deduction**: If a rock falls when I drop it, then an eraser will drop when I drop it. =Class Activity= Let's play with each of these: Let's take our understanding of knowledge. We've seen how knowledge comes from perception. We've also seen how abstraction provides knowledge.  What is one thing that we can say about Mr. Van Nort that is true of everyone in the room?  What prediction can we make about Mr. Van Nort that will always be true?  What induction can we make about Mr. Van Nort that we can also make about the rest of us?  What deduction can we make about Mr. Van Nort that will be true of other "objects" we perceive? =Closing=   Reflect on the 3 types of reasoning we've discussed today. How do you use them in your everyday life? What kinds of predictions, inductions, and deductions do we make? Do we do it consciously or unconsciously?  = 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
