Before we proceed with our lesson today, let’s first have a warm-up activity.
I’m going to ask you questions and I would like you to choose between
the given options. Everyone will stand in front of the object according to
your own preference. (Once the students choose their answers, the teacher
will ask randomly one student from each option, why he or she preferred it.)

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson The activity we just did expressed your preferences on things which show
your biases. Being biased is not a good thing, but all of us have biases as
normal persons who have feelings, opinions, likes and dislikes. It is normal
for us to like foods, sports, movie or celebrity over others; it is normal for us
to dislike something and express it.

In our lesson for today we are going to Examine Biases.

B. Presenting examples/ instances Let’s watch the news about the recent issue on Jeepney Modernization.

D. Discussing new concepts & practicing new WHAT IS BIAS?

skills
A bias is a person’s personal opinion about another person, a group, a
thing, or an event that is usually unfair or not based on completely on the
truth or facts.
 You are BIASED TOWARDS something or someone when you give too much
praise or only say what is positive about them.

On the other hand, BIASED AGAINST someone or something is the exact

opposite-what you say or write are all negative.

What is Bias in writing?

In writing BIAS can be defined as:
 A prejudice against something an author is writing about.
 Favoritism for something an author is writing about.
 An author letting feelings or emotions clouds his or her objectivity
about something he/she is writing about.
In writing, bias can also be acceptable in editorials because the main
reason people write them is to express opinions about someone or
something. However, there must be no biases in paragraphs that give
information or facts (i. e. news, textbooks) because readers might believe
these biases to e 100% true. Also biases, should not be present in activities
where people need to give their judgement based on facts (ex. Judging a
competition, hiring employees at work, etc.). Biases are also unacceptable if
it insults others or hurt their feelings.

2. Baby Boomer a are very strict and old-fashioned. But I think they are the best
because they get to live in a very simple life.
3. Millennials are unique because they are committed to implementing Sustainable
Development Goals including equality, climate change, peace, justice, poverty
and prosperity. Their tastes and preferences support creating sustainability and
equality for all.
4. Generation Z is the best! We are all energetic and fun to be with. All of us are
creative and we always have new and fun ideas to share. On top of it all, we are
all very good in using the latest technology.
5. The young generation is really the worst! They sleep late at night and wake up
very late. They always listen to very loud music. Also, they do nothing, are lazy
and like to waste their time in front of their smartphones or tablets playing
online games or watching videos nonstop.
