NANO PACKET/BIAS

SENIORS: I distributed a packet that will help you organize your ideas and your time for Nanowrimo.  Please see me ASAP for this packet.  You will be working with it all this week in preparation for your novel, the writing of which begins this Saturday!

SOPHOMORES: How do you detect bias in writing?  How do you keep bias out of your writing?  The following exercise will help you: click on this link and read the article Kids are Kids. Then, in your notebook under the title Bias, make a list of words and phrases that are emotionally charged, that make you feel that the author is trying to persuade you.  After you finish with the list, pick any 4 sequential paragraphs and rewrite them in a neutral tone.
