1 Information, data, maps & photos explanation & analysis

2 Learning Outcome identify strengths and weaknesses of different types of secondary evidence analyse resources using RAVEN and other analysis methods that have been studied

3 Sources Websites - http://climatechange.procon.org Maps
Photographs – satellite & terrestrial Articles – newspaper & magazine from nisaktobegp website Scientific reports Video Cartoons Data – tables, spread sheets Text books Social Network

4 Analysis http://www.criticalthinking.org/ctmodel/logic-model1.htm
RAVEN - Facts Opinions Assertions Argument – statement reasons conclusions Counter Argument – evidence conclusions Deductive & Inductive reasoning Logical Fallacies

5 Expertise (does the source have specialised knowledge and does the situation demand it?)
Neutrality (is the source predisposed to support a particular point of view for reasons other than vested interest)

6 Deconstruction Deconstructing arguments and reasoning tell the difference between facts that can be cross-checked, opinions about the facts, and conclusions that can reasonably be drawn from the facts.

7 An Argument The main elements of arguments are reasons and a conclusion An Assertion a confident and forceful statement, usually made without giving evidence

8 Logical Fallacies An error in reasoning due to misunderstanding, presumption or bias. They appeal to emotions and bias rather than reason Ad hominem the fallacy of attacking the person rather than offering the argument itself. Correlation not Causation when it is assumed that because two things are found together (i.e. are correlated) there must be a direct causal connection between them.

9 Restricting the options
It is an attempt to justify an action or conclusion by making it seem as though there aren't any other options. Strawman Misrepresents someone’s argument to make it easier to attack them Hasty Generalization Arguments that use specific cases to support general conclusions.
