Faulty reasoning

For reading we did Faulty reasoning. There are five faulty reasoning: Illogical /simplified/Assumption, Circular Reasoning, Over-generalization, Biased Argument and Contradiction.

Illogical /simplified/Assumption means Providing evidence that does not directly support the claim.

Circular Reasoning means supporting a claim with the same claim.

Over-generalization means making a global statement when there are likely exceptions.

Biased Argument means making a claim that is influenced by your own personal feelings or experience.

Contradiction means providing evidence that goes against the original argument.

The first activity is putting the right text quote and the reasoning to the right faulty reasons.

The second activity was a guess. We had to put five faulty reasons to the right reasons. For example: The school uniforms are ugly because they are just not attractive is a Circular Reasoning.

The last activity. Was to make our own faulty reasoning. We find five reasons in the book and had to put in the right faulty reasons. For example: We know that the only reason you do not let us use the restroom is because you just want us to suffer it is Illogical /simplified/Assumption.

Inquiry

LI: to prepare materials order for construction

Different types of shelters can keep people safe by using the correct materials depending on what disaster 

They are being protected from.
When building a shelter, measuring the amount of materials being used is important so it keeps it balanced.

An example of materials used for a tsunami shelter are concrete, chicken wire, metal ties, aluminum, popsicle sticks, steel door, and hard clear plastic.

Using chicken wire is good for putting in the concrete so it can connect it to the other sides.

Hard clear plastic can be used for the windows because it doesn’t break easily like glass and because it's transparent which allows people to see what's happening on the outside.

popsicle sticks are good for supporting the force of the impact. This material can also be used to anchor the shelter into the ground so it doesn’t tip over. The properties of wood are the shape that has been made.

Not every material can support every natural disaster.

Addition and division are both operations the are used for rounding. To round, the person needs to find the mean, to find the mean get a set of numbers like 5,7,1,9,3 and then add them altogether which would make 25. Then divide them by the amount of numbers there are which makes 5.

Here comes the rounding part comes in so if the numbers are 5-9 they are called high five and the numbers that are 0-4 they are called four floor. Look for the last digit. Example: 21.85 now becomes 21.9 because 5 is above.
