Warm-up -Take a quick glance at pages 3-5. Make a mental note of which article you would like to read as a warm-up for our activity today. -In the FRONT of your notebook, write down the title of the article you chose. Next, read your article fully and write down the COMPLETE main idea. -Finally, choose TWO of the “5Ws+H” and write down the COMPLETE supporting detail sentences you find them in.

Bias  What does it mean to be biased?

 Bias- an inclination of temperament or outlook.  What in the world does that mean?  In your own words, jot down your definition of bias.  Make a list of any tv shows, movies, newspapers, magazines, books, etc. that you believe show a bias.

Propaganda  Information promoting a person, cause, or point of view.  BUT does Propaganda NEED to be ONLY IN FAVOR of a person, cause, or point of view?  NO! Propaganda can also be used AGAINST a person, cause, or point of view.  What forms can propaganda take? Does it need to be FACTUAL?

Propaganda (continued)  Does propaganda need to be factual?  No way! Many times Propaganda will use rumors and opinions to influence its target audience. Many times propaganda will even try to scare you.

 Get a piece of paper ready in your note card.  Draw lines to divide your page into FOUR sections.  In each section, jot down the following questions:  What is this piece of propaganda trying to make you believe?  Who is the target audience?  Who do you think created this propaganda?  Is it effective? Do you now believe in the message?

Translation: Hitler is building. Help him. Buy German goods.

30 Days: Illegal Immigration  We will begin watching a video today concerning illegal immigration.  This video DOES contain examples of bias, propaganda, and spin…BUT they won’t be as easy or obvious to find as our previous examples.
