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

Page 11: Media Can you trust the media?. Our Expectations Listen while the teacher is talking Listen while other students are talking Put up your hand if you would

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?

What is a stereotype?What is bias?

Do we see them a lot in the ‘news’?Do we, sometimes, agree with

stereotypes?

Back to the media….So, we know we are influenced by the media…We’ve also had a lookat how, thanks to social media, we make the news

Can we trust our own eyes?
