Bias Articles
(4th Quarter Grade)
This was class work, and students had 4 days in class to work on this assignment.
Directions:
1) Choose a topic from the following:
- Should schools sell fast food?
- Should students wear school uniforms?
- Should preteens and teens be banned from the mall without adult supervision?
- Should kids have chores?
- Should you get a larger allowance?
- Should there be less homework?
- What is an appropriate age for kids to have a cell phone?
- Is texting decreasing kids' literacy skills?
- Are video games a work of art?
- Who's better at compromising and collaborating- boys or girls?
- Are actors and professional athletes paid too much?
- Are we too dependent on computers?
3) Write another article from the POV of another person who would be strongly biased towards the other side of the topic.
(ex. If you choose "Should schools sell fast food?", you might write the second article from a parent of a student athlete.)
****Articles must have multiple paragraphs. Please give each article a title and identify the "writer" of each article. Check for correct spelling, and make sure you are writing in complete sentences. Each article must include loaded words, a stereotype, and a one-sided argument.****
