Questions to ask Yourself • What information did we learn about the issue? • Did the information affect my opinion of the issue? • What was the message of the video or speech? • What visual and sound techniques were used in the speech that influenced the message? • How did those techniques create a particular point of view? • How does that impact an audience?
Tuesday • Objective: Students evaluate a newspaper article for facts and opinions and determine point of view.
Newspaper for Fact and Opinions • The students will gather in small groups. • The students will be handed a printout of the article from the New York Times newspaper found at the following link: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/30/us/politics/paul-ryans-kinetic-rise-in-gop.html?_r=1&hp • The students will read the article and evaluate the article for facts and opinions and determine the point of view.
Questions • How can writer’s point of view influence a reader’s attitude toward a subject? • After reading the article in small groups answer the following questions. • What is the subject? • Who is the audience? • What is the purpose of the article? • How did the facts and opinions found create the point of view and purpose of the article? • How does an author influence the attitude and/or actions of others through an informational article?
Wednesday • Objective: Students compare and contrast two persuasive articles and identify the bias of both.
Comparing and Contrasting • Students will use the article from the previous day to identify any bias that may exist. • Bias is a prejudice or preference for one particular point of view. • A biased persuasive article can influence a reader’s feeling and opinion about a specific topic. • For example: PETA’s bias toward the treatment of animals vs. the bias of the meat industry executive.
