Exercise 2
1.
Make a Rationale Reasoning map of the following argument:
Australia should be a republic, but changing the constitution might have
unforeseen circumstances.
Drag and drop sections
of the above text onto the workspace to proceed. This works with any version of
Rationale.
Hints
- Identify the indicator word
- Work out what kind of indicator it is: is what follows the
indicator a reason, objection, or position?
- Put only claims in boxes, not indicator words
- Note: if you connect the boxes before you change their colors
Rationale will assume you are making a Grouping map, rather than a
Reasoning map. You will need to click on your map and then
click on 'Reasoning' in the ribbon menu above to fix this.
2. Check your work against the
model.
