REFLECTION TASK 4 (ARGUMENT AND EVIDENCE)

My group (Wanie, Along & Ella) has presented the task regarding to argument and evidence. Below is our explanation:

Argument
can be define as a different opinion base on some reasons
opinion that support the statement

Evidence
is divided into two:
ü circumstantial evidence: note (eg handwriting)
ü
Argument + Evidence = LOGICAL PROOF (headline) (picture)
testimonial evidence: eyewitness (is preferred)




v Statistic (chart, graph, diagram, and etc) can also be the evidence to support the statement.
v Readers can evaluate it themselves by looking at the numbers and texts given.








Interesting information

Reading 4.1
- Arguments given about “Body Language That Speaks to Muggers” provide together with the evidence.
- Eg: Grayson and Stein research used video tape as the evidence support the argument that pedestrians are the easy target for mugging by the way they walk.
- From the video tape, we can see several movements characterized easy victims.

Reading 4.5
v Crooked and Fallacious is also a manipulative tools in the hand of writers wishing to influence an affect the judgment of their readers. (the way to attract the reader)

Task/terminology difficulties
* Overall, there is no difficulties in understanding all the concept/ task/ terminology in this unit, but, it takes time to proof that the arguments can be classified as hard evidence or not.
