Let’s Think!
Activity 1
Directions: Read the situation below. Then, answer the questions that
follow.
A classmate comes up to you and accuses you of stealing her money. She
even adds angrily that the amount she claims that is stolen from her is just
enough for her to commute going home after classes. Naturally, assuming you
didn’t steal anything, you would deny it? Your classmate doesn’t believe you,
saying that you were the only person in the room when she found out she lost
her money. Plus, you are her seatmate and you’re the nearest one to her bag
where her money is, she adds. Assuming again, that her arguments are right,
how would you defend yourself?
