Friday- Inferences + Touchy Subject Annotations

9/16/2022

 
DUE DATES- ON TIME​
  1. DW2 Inferences and Generalizations. DUE: Friday, 9/16, End of Class
  2. A Touchy Subject Annotations. DUE: Monday, 9/19, Start of Class.

DUE DATES- LATE (-10%)
  1. College Essay FINAL/Cover Sheet. LAST DAY TO TURN IN: Monday, 9/19, Start of Class

Starter 12:  Graphs from Pew Research
  1. Describe what you see here in terms of data. Summarize the main ideas, and discuss what stands out to you. 
  2. What are some potential explanations for this data?  How do these graphs inter-relate?
  3. What questions does this raise for you?  List at least 3.
 
DW2 Observations → Inferences → Generalizations
  1. Observation = something you experience with 5 senses
  2. Inference = something you think is true based on the evidence from your observations
  3. Generalization = larger inference about a group of people
 
Your Task:
  1. Take your observations from yesterday.  Write, in the right hand column, at least 5 inferences that you can make from this data.
  2. Draw lines from the observations to the related inference
  3. THEN, go to the very end.  Make 3 generalizations about the middle class in Durango.  These should be based on your observations and the discussion with me. Remember, generalization should be accurate, based on data, and attempting to capture a pattern. 
  4. Now turn that sucker in to the basket on Lori’s desk!
 
A Touchy Subject- Read and Annotate
