Bias

There are three documents in this folder.

1. Read the handout Bias and do task B

2. Look at the handout Fact, Opinion and Bias. Notice how similar points can be written as a fact, an opinion or a biased statement. Notice the language of the biased statements and look out for words such as all, best, never. Often sweeping statements are made in inflammatory language - look out for stupid, up to the job. Extreme bias can lead to racist, sexist or other discriminatory statements. 

3. Complete the Fact, Opinion and Bias activity by creating statements of your own.
