  2. Our Expectations • Listen while the teacher is talking • Listen while other students are talking • Put up your hand if you would like to speak • Be reliable • Respect others at all times • Use appropriate language

  3. Shhhhh…… First four countries to have television: England, the U.S., the U.S.S.R., and Brazil. There are 170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ways to play the ten opening moves in a game of chess. The U.S. has more bagpipe bands than Scotland does. For beer commercials, they add liquid detergent to the beer to make it foam more. Whispering is more wearing on your voice than a normal speaking tone

  4. Did the facts change? Was the truth of the message altered?

  5. Re-cap… What is the ‘media’? How much are we influenced by the media? What is a ‘fact’ and what is an ‘opinion’? Did You Know … If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

  6. So… • We’ve established we are all influenced by the media in one way or another…. But can we trust the media?

  8. What is the ‘news’?

  9. Or is ‘news’….. OMG!!! Did u hear???? Did u no about…… Well, my opinion is Guess what I’ve just seen! Lol!!!!

  10. Three groups… • Using the ‘facts’, your group is going to present a news story. • How do you want your story to look? • Will you use all of the facts given, or just some of them? • Present it as a web page for a news website

  11. Let’s have a look then… • Do our news stories look the same? • Have they included the same facts/pictures/subtitles etc? • Could readers of one story get a different point of view than readers of another? • Have we included our own ‘bias’ without realising it? If NASA sent birds into space they would soon die; they need gravity to swallow

  12. Stereotype and Bias (protip…you’ll be doing a lot about stereotypes and bias in English, History, Geography, Drama etc etc…..) What is a stereotype? What is bias? Do we see them a lot in the ‘news’? Do we, sometimes, agree with stereotypes?

  15. What can stereotypes and bias lead to?

  16. Back to the media…. So, we know we are influenced by the media… We’ve also had a look at how, thanks to social media, we make the news Can we trust our own eyes? • Some of use may think we have our own bias, and we agree with some stereotypes… So…
