Instructions
Read the course file on Partisan Bias in the ‘Read’ section of Reading and Viewing Resources (and linked below). Study the sources on creating a PowerPoint presentation. (attached)
Then, create a digital presentation that is designed to provide information to an audience. Your presentation must provide this information in four ways: Extreme Partisan Bias, Moderate Partisan Bias, Slight Partisan Bias, and Neutral Bias.
You are not finding slides that already exist and using them as examples of each type of bias. You are creating slides that illustrate each type of bias through their use of color, imagery, text, and arrangement. I encourage you to use PowerPoint, but you may select another program or create a different multimedia presentation. All presentations must utilize the elements of Visual Rhetoric we covered in LM 1 (text, color, imagery, and arrangement).
If you create a PowerPoint Presentation, you must create four slides: one for each type of bias. You must use a different topic for each slide. This will prevent you from changing one element of each slide to create the different types of bias. I want you to create each slide with the type of bias in mind from the beginning. If you select a different program or a different type of multimedia presentation, you must use four different topics for the four different types of bias.
Pick topics you are interested in and can find information about through a Google search. You do not need to document your sources unless you decide to do so to assist your visual rhetoric.
