We will next have a little fun with bias. This is also an exercise in communication skills and page design. Can you get your point across effectively? Do you know your audience?

Bias:
1. Class Discussion about bias (on Tuesday, probably, after you read the articles).

2. Read the following articles:
Gender Bias
Journalism Bias this is a longer article. Read the whole thing (except the studies and theories of media bias section). Click on links that interest you.
a good Summary of Bias

3. Create a one page flyer that contains bias.

Girls: Boys are silly. Why can't they act right so I can get my work done? They should treat women with respect and not be so clueless.

Boys: Girls are silly. Why can't they act right so I can get my work done? They should treat men with respect and not be so clueless.

Think about your audience. Who are you writing it for? I am looking for two things. First, do you have good ideas and understand bias? Second, can you format the flyer well so you communicate these ideas? This is your first task in design.

This flyer must include the following: Three total colors. A border A table A clip art or free-non-copyrighted image. Using copyrighted images is illegal. I can google it to check, so be careful. You could make your own image if you want. At least three quotes (from real or imaginary people) Have fun with this, stay respectful and appropriate.

4. Save in My Documents-Class Projects. (bschneiderbias). Check the Rubric for the assessment.
