5. Trials test results: I missed questions 4 and 5.
[4] Deputy Director Hill of Horseshoe Cruise Line stated the following about the mysterious illness aboard the 900-person cruise ship Royal Lady, "Including crew and guests, we believe that 766 passengers are presently ill. That is certainly not an epidemic. In fact, there is no reason to believe that this illness has anything to do with the food or facilities."
Does this excerpt illustrate fact, opinion or bias?
At first, I thought the excerpt was opinion, but now that I have re read it, the excerpt is bias. The Deputy Director is saying on their side of what has happened with the illness. Only they do not have "a reason to believe" that their facilities was the problem. From google, the definition of bias is "prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair."
[5]Your group has selected the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska as a research topic. As you are researching, you read a fantastic quote attributed to attorney Paul Achitoff of Earthjustice. What should be your next step?

Actually, I was going to pick the right answer, Verify that the attorney works for Earthjustice and learn more about the organization, but I started to doubt myself and ultimately picked, Discuss the appropriateness of the quote with the members of your group. I now see why the right answer is right, since you would have to see if who said the quote was actually who they said they were. Anybody could say anything, so you should always check the facts and verify.
Good job on the citing and researching citations that have to do with your novel.
ReplyDeleteGreat work citing. Your TRAILS answers indicate you really critically thought about what your were evaluating. Whether you answered as they did really in the long run is not as important.
