3/8 Group work

 

Worked with AJ & Moriah

  1. Drunk drivers are involved in more than 50 percent of traffic deaths. 
  • This is an inaccurate fact and a constructed argument. 

 

2. DNA tests of skin found under the victim’s fingernails suggest that the defendant was responsible for the assault.

  • This could be considered a fact but it is missing a lot of context so it is a constructed argument. 

 

3. A psychologist testified that teenage violence could not be blamed on video games. 

  • This is an opinion based constructed argument.

 

4. The crowds at President Trump’s inauguration were the largest on record.

  • This is an inaccurate fact and a constructed argument. 

 

5. “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

  •  This is an opinion. 

 

6. Air bags ought to be removed from vehicles because they can kill young children and small-framed adults. (Based on the activities in Lunsford, p. 63)

  • Constructed argument, lacking hard evidence.
