Answer to Question 1

Deductive reasoning starts with a general idea and then uses logic to draw specific
conclusions. Inductive reasoning occurs in the opposite direction. It starts with
specific facts or experience and ends with a general conclusion. Examples will vary
and should clearly illustrate each type of reasoning.

Answer to Question 2

Examples will vary, but should involve a decision about school, jobs, sex, or
risk-taking behavior. Students may mention some rational thought processes, but
should be sure to include a description of intuitive or emotional thinking or
adolescent egocentrism.
