In my situation I was talking with my roommate who has come down with the cold. I questioned him on what caused his ailment. He had trouble answering the question so I offered reasons on why he procured his illness- “reflective deliberative context”. My reasons for the possible infection were as follows, drinking contaminated water, interacting with new people, beginning a new training regimen –“rationale/claim”. I believe he received his sickness from drinking contaminated water, because someone threw up in our bathroom earlier in the week- “conclusion”.

Group 2 (Landon,Matt,Josh,Stephanie,Drew,Lindsay)

Last friday night Peter and John were having a conversation about what they were going to do that evening. Peter proposed to John that they should go out and attend a certain party at the Rugby House. John said "No, I think I'll pass this time. I am trying to avoid that scene." Peter offered his reasoning to John by saying, "Come on man, its a friday night and we're in college." Peters reasoning was a stereotypical college thought on most friday nights.

On a given thursday night a group of students were considering going to Pita Pit. However, one student proposed going to the COG as an alternative. His reasoning was that the COG is included in most students meal plans and Pita Pit costs around seven dollars for a pita. Another student offered his reasoning being that Pita Pit is a far walk away from campus and the COG is close by.

During this class period our group was discussing whether or not to do two or three posts on the wiki. One student offered her reasoning that we should try and impress Dr.Alfino by posting three conversations. Another student said quite boldly that we should only do two and get out early due to other homework he had to complete. Our group came to the conclusion that we should post the said conversation on the wiki.
