Criteria Ratings Pts
Analogy Discussion Is there at least one argument by analogy offered? Does the analogy support the relevant character’s position and avoid the weak analogy fallacy? Is the argument by analogy correctly identified with highlighting? Does the other character point out at least one relevant dissimilarity between the primary and secondary analogues?
Statistical Discussion
Is there at least one argument that uses statistical reasoning (samples, averages, or percentages) in a potentially problematic way? Is this argument properly identified with highlighting? Does the other character respond by pointing out the issue with the statistical reasoning or by asking relevant questions designed to uncover potential issues?
Format, Writing, Clarity Is your piece offered in a dialogue format? Is it clear and easy to follow? Is it free from spelling and grammatical errors? Do both characters defend reasonable positions with decent arguments?
