Middle schoolers using Inquiry to learn more fully about bias after reading a short story from their text





 Students in 7th grade at Academy of Hope Charter are learning how bias, whether from the media, technology or authors, contributes to popular/unpopular opinion and impacts our system of beliefs


 




This Wonder Table has magazine articles, photos and nonfiction texts for students to peruse to decide whether they are biased in any way.  Students will pair up to talk and try to come to some agreement after the fact-finding process, which may include researching using technology and texts, is complete.

Next step:  Persuasive Essays to make their point
