This week, let’s discuss identifying an author’s point of view.
POST
For your post, pick only one of the options below. You have two choices:
a. Write your own paragraph (5-7 sentences) about a topic of your choice. Slant your writing with your own bias. Be sure to leave clues to your bias:
a. Opinions and facts that support your point of view
b. Word choice that helps reveal how you feel about the topic
b. Or, pick an article that contains bias. Copy and paste a few paragraphs that contain clues as to the article’s bias. Be sure to cite your source: list the author’s name and the source’s title. Include a link to the whole article.
REPLY
1. Finally, reply to the posts of two peers.
2. Use the techniques we learned to identify point of view in their passage. Be sure to describe the clues that helped you determine point of view.
