Let Us Practice Activity 2 Probing
A. Formulating Assertions
Fact: “Adolescents need a solid 8, 10, even 11 hours of sleep to really function and to
think clearly”, reports Dr. Dowdell.
Opinion: This is due to the fact that many individuals’ resorts to junk food for instant
energy when they are fatigued.
Convention: Dowdell says that it’s common for teens’ sleep to be interrupted by texts.
B. Formulating Counterclaims
Claim: Life with no phone is not easy.
Counterclaim: However, individuals must remember that excessive device use is
never beneficial and might interfere with other more essential things in life. Avoiding
phone use for an extended period of time helps us to learn more about what's going
on in the globe. Furthermore, it allows us to become more socially inclined with the
people around us, particularly our families. Smartphones should only be used to
overcome communication gaps, not to overrun our holistic lives to the point that we
lose sight of what actually important. We can certainly function without the presence
of cellphones.

human society or human nature. The tale tells of a spiritual, moral, and utopian
civilization, and how the gods were enraged as a result of their selfish actions, and
how Atlantis sank as a result.
2.) Individuals began to believe that Atlantis once existed because famous people at
the time began to talk about it and make it appear real.
3.) His point was that the known ancient civilizations were insufficiently developed.
to have created these things on their own, but rather to have received them from a
more sophisticated civilization.
4.) Suggesting that some accomplishments were done in Atlantis It was merely a
thought, not a fact. People began to believe it more and more.
5.) Berlitz became persuaded not only that Atlantis existed, but also that it was the root
of the Bermuda Triangle enigma.
