this ?

What is an ‘Argument’?
Objectives To understand what is meant by the term ‘argument’
To start to be able to identify the components of an argument
![Page 8: Introduction day Morning Unit Two what is an argument Intro What is an argument Girl V dad How to deconstruct an argument Look through paper two & question](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55140de7550346e2488b4f00/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Think back to the last argument you had
With a partner share
What was it about
Who was it with
What were you aiming to achieve
An argument is – An attempt to persuade someone of something
What is an ‘Argument’?
A Starter

How can we spot an ‘Argument’?Look at the examples below, which are
‘arguments’ ( attempts to persuade)
I like cheese
My mum makes the best cakes, she was taught by my Gran
Man U suck
I want that shirt because it is cheap
I hate TV soaps because they are boring
Where is the cathedral?
Using these examples can we define what makes something an argument?
Must have statement and reason /evidence

An ‘Argument’ you may have had!Look at the argument between the father and
daughter
Is this discussion an argument or simply a row?
What is the father trying to persuade his daughter, can you find three reasons he gives in support of this?
What is the daughter trying to persuade her father, can you find three reasons he gives in support of this?
Who do you think has the stronger argument?

How to deconstruct an ‘Argument’?
Objectives To be able to identify a conclusion in an argument
To be able to identify the reasons given in support
At its simplest an argument consists of a reason and a conclusion
Key Terms
Argument – The presentation of one or more reasons to support a conclusion
Conclusion – A claim that is supported by one or more reasons
Reason – A claim which supports a conclusion
Argument Indicator – A word or phase that provides a link between a reason and a conclusion

Credibility of Evidence
Objectives To understand the different Credibility criteria available’
To apply these criteria to evidence to assess its credibility
What criteria do we use to evaluate credibility?
![Page 28: Introduction day Morning Unit Two what is an argument Intro What is an argument Girl V dad How to deconstruct an argument Look through paper two & question](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55140de7550346e2488b4f00/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

CRAVEN
• CRAVEN - the acrostic for the criteria that can be applied when assessing evidence.
• Some evidence may be measured using just one ‘criterion’ from the CRAVEN criteria. Some may be examined using more than one depending on the source of the evidence.
![Page 30: Introduction day Morning Unit Two what is an argument Intro What is an argument Girl V dad How to deconstruct an argument Look through paper two & question](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55140de7550346e2488b4f00/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
CRAVEN
C Circumstantial or context
R Reputation
A Ability to see or perceive
V Vested Interest
E Expertise
N Neutrality
![Page 31: Introduction day Morning Unit Two what is an argument Intro What is an argument Girl V dad How to deconstruct an argument Look through paper two & question](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55140de7550346e2488b4f00/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Critical ThinkingCredibility of Evidence 1
• Criteria to use (Criterion singular) Reputation-Does the source have a reputation for
reliability, e.g. the difference between The Sun and the BBC Ability to observe-Could the source see what it claims
has happened Vested Interest-Does the source have a reason to be
biased e.g. someone accused of war crimes who denies any responsibility
Neutrality-Opposite of Vested Interest, does the source have a neutral outlook on the claim
Expertise/Training-Does the source have relevant training or expertise that would support their claim, e.g. a Doctor giving a medical opinion
![Page 32: Introduction day Morning Unit Two what is an argument Intro What is an argument Girl V dad How to deconstruct an argument Look through paper two & question](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55140de7550346e2488b4f00/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Critical ThinkingCredibility of Evidence 2
• Criteria to use (Criterion singular)
Nature of the claim-Is the claim itself credible, or very unlikely, e.g. when someone claims to have witnessed a miracle
Credible reasons for the claim-Can the source support their claim with credible reasons, or is it not supported
Corroboration-Is there corroboration of the claim from independent sources, e.g. it is backed up elsewhere
You need to be able to use the Criteria in deciding which sources and authorities are credible/reliable and on what grounds
![Page 33: Introduction day Morning Unit Two what is an argument Intro What is an argument Girl V dad How to deconstruct an argument Look through paper two & question](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55140de7550346e2488b4f00/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Using Credibility CriteriaWhen assessing the credibility of a source you should usewhatever criteria you think is relevant, and often will use atleast two. EG – An Eye Witness Report Emphasis on the high credibility of direct
observationBut also Vested Interest – Did the eyewitness have anything to gain by
including or excluding evidence Bias – Did the eyewitness observe a friend and try to present them in
the best light? Expertise – Did the eyewitness have any relevant expertise which may
increase the credibility of the evidence Reputation – Has the eyewitness got a reputation for honesty or
dishonesty Corroboration – Is the evidence given by the eyewitness supported by
other sources of evidence Selectivity – Did the eyewitness see only part of the event? Context – Did the context allow for a clear view of the event?
Here we can see combining different criteria improves ourassessment of credibility of evidence
![Page 34: Introduction day Morning Unit Two what is an argument Intro What is an argument Girl V dad How to deconstruct an argument Look through paper two & question](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55140de7550346e2488b4f00/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Key TermsArgument – A reason or reasons that support a conclusionEvidence – Information used to support an argumentSource – Where evidence comes from e.g. eye witnessCredibility – Believability, a cr4edable source is a believable sourceCredibility Criteria – criteria used to assess the credibility of sourcesand evidenceNeutrality – Impartial, not taking sidesVested Interest – Having something to gain from a particular outcomeBias – Favouring a particular viewExpertise – Specialist knowledgeReputation – What is generally thought about a person’s character orStandingObservation – Direct observation of an event by an eyewitnessEye witness account – A report by someone who has personally observed an eventCorroboration – Confirming, giving support to, Corroborative evidence isevidence that supports each other, point in the same direction.Selectivity – The choice of evidence to support an argumentContext – The setting or situation in which evidence is producedTruth – Something that is accurate or correct

Questions:
1. Using the criterion of reputation, discuss whether it seems likely that David stole the chocolates from the post office.
2. Using the criterion of ability to see, assess the evidence that David is the culprit.
3. What vested interest might David or any of the others involved have in presenting false or insecure evidence?
4. To what extent can the criterion of expertise be used to support the claims of any of those involved?
5. To what extent can the deputy head be regarded as a neutral source of evidence?
6. Without repeating point already made, examine aspects of the circumstances of the case that could suggest that David is guilty, and others that might suggest that he is not guilty.
