Today we learned about BIAS and how to avoid it in expository writing. You can tell when an article has bias when you see strong, emotionally-charged words that indicate an opinion. To work on the assignment, open this link, read the article, and highlight all the words that indicate a bias. Then, in your notebook, rewrite the first 5 paragraphs and exchange the biased words for neutral words. You might have to rewrite or rephrase a sentence. The goal is to present the same information while changing the tone from being biased to being neutral.
