  1. Source-Based Question Error Analysis

  2. Inference • Begin with the inference – usually the message the author or artist wants to convey to readers • Don’t start with evidence or description of cartoon • Use precise adjectives – X “bad” leader. • Purpose – to show Palestinians are innocent (This is inference) Purpose – the desired effect on the audience – to turn the public (vague) against the Israelis • Capital letters – Arabs / Palestinians

  3. Utility (Usefulness) • Issue in the question: causes / major event / consequences or impact of conflict • Steps: Usefulness – 1st paragraph - Yes + evidence + explanation 2nd paragraph – X-reference to support/confirm the source utility Three types of knowledge you can X-reference to: Contextual knowledge (CK) / other given sources / background information Not useful 3rd paragraph – Why source is not useful? What does it not tell you with regard to the issue (Gaps in information) X-reference with CK/other sources/background information to challenge the usefulness of the source in the question. Link back to usefulness 4th paragraph – Another X-reference (Optional) 5th paragraph – MIA (Message / Intended Effect / Audience) : biased / not-biased – so reliable or cannot be trusted fully

  4. What’s wrong with this conclusion? • Source provenance is unknown, so the source is unreliable. • Since source provenance is not provided, one is likely to question its trustworthiness judging from the way it chose to portray the Palestinians / Israelis as the aggressors, reflecting some bias.
