Fact VS Opinion

10

A fact is a statement that can be
verified. It can be proven to be true or
false through objective evidence.

An opinion is a statement that expresses

a feeling, an attitude, a value judgment,

or a belief. It is a statement that is

neither true nor false.

Define the Problem

15

Previously, we have learned a

6-Step Problem Solving Method.

1. Identify the Problem
2. Determine the Size and Scope of the Problem
3. Generate Solutions
4. Think of Possible Consequences
5. Choose the Best Solution
6. Analyze the Outcome

17

Similarities and

Differences

18

Let’s review how we use Venn Diagrams to

identify similarities and differences.

22

Consequences
and Predictions

23

Unintended consequences are the unforeseen and often unexpected outcomes of an action.

26

Solutions

27

Earlier this year, we learned the

concept of groupthink.

​Groupthink is a pattern of thought
characterized by conformity to group values and ethics.

34

Relevance and

Correlation

35

We learned that a correlation between
variables is a connection or link between
them.

Today, we will review how to determine if
variables are correlated based on how they
are represented on graphs.

36

The type of
graph that
will be used
today is a
scatter
plot.

A scatter
plot is a
graph where
points are
plotted to
show the
relationship
(correlation)
between two
variables.

Reliable Sources

44

Some media is typically (not always) more credible than others.
We should always use our criteria and critical thinking skills to determine credibility and reliability.

Typically Not

Very

Reliable/Credible

Typically Very

Reliable/Credible

​We will be focused on whether or not sources are credible and reliable, and the degree (level) of credibility.

46

Analogies and

Metaphors

47

Analogies are useful for learning
because they require us to analyze
one concept, and then transfer that analysis to another concept.
