A few years ago, I attended a Middle School conference in Myrtle Beach on teaching and learning. I got an AWESOME idea that I revamped and brought back to my 5th graders. I am planning on teaching this to them in small group this week:
I'm DEFINITELY using this wonderful idea to teach author's bias! I did something similar this year with the cruise ship Triumph disaster... we analyzed the headline "Filthy Crippled Cruise Ship Limps Into Port" and then discussed how the people getting off the ship actually weren't near as negative as the reporters wanted them to be. I'll definitely be using yours for next year! :) Erin I'm Lovin Lit
