| What is critical analysis? - What do you think?
- But you also have to evaluate if evidence supports conclusions:
- Evidence: The philosopher, Socrates, was a man (fact and verifiable)
- Evidence: My father was a man (fact and verifiable)
- Conclusion: My father was a man, therefore he was a philosopher (false conclusion)

- Give information
Developing critical thinking ability: Reading - Identify line of reasoning

- Present evidence

- Body language – Eye contact, speed, tone – does the speaker look/sound believable?
-
Critical Questions - Who? What? When? Why?
- How far? How much? How often?
- Is this true? How do we know?
- What do we not know?
- Which is preferable – and why?
