1. Research Project Work
In order to create bias, credibility, and perspective, writers use many rhetorical strategies. The main ones that I want you to focus on now are "diction," (author's word choice) "tone," (author's attitude toward the subject matter) "pathos," (appeals to reader's emotions) "logos," (appeals to reader's logic) and "point of view." (perspective, "I", "you", etc.)
- Meet with your partner
- Read and annotate the article looking specifically at the devices I mentioned above.
- Discuss the central argument and bias in the text.
1. Victor and Miguel--impacts defunding the police will have on communities of color

- What is Phillips' central argument in this preface? Use and cite evidence to support your answer.
In addition to reading Douglass's autobiography, we are going to work on a timely and relevant project that combines current, globally life-changing events and media literacy. I think understanding and addressing the barrage of information we are receiving at this point in time will provide you with important skills that you will continue to use in college and in life.
Let's begin this project by thinking about all the information we are absorbing from the media regarding the racial tensions, police brutality, protests and socio-political movements, and structural racism that is at the forefront of our current times. This project will focus on a timely topic that impacts all of us right at this moment. You will have the opportunity to think about media and information as well as research and analyze news based on your own interests.
For this project, you and your partner will choose a specific topic, research, discuss, research more, and present about the media's representation of the micro-issue of your choice. We will discuss the presentation rubric and requirements of the project in weeks to come.
3. I want you to consider the words "bias," "credibility," and "perspective." Please define these terms in your own words as you understand them. Then compose a few sentences that propose how these terms might connect to the news and media right now.
