💭My Thoughts and Thinking about Bias!💭

IALT: Think and talk about Bias!

Kia Ora and welcome to my blog! Today the Kia Manawanui syndicate got split into groups. I was with Ms Komor and we were talking about Bias. Bias is a topic we got from the game Astria and I think learning about this helped those who didn't understand what Bias was, understand what it is!

Each table got given a piece of paper that had pictures of M&M packets and Nutrition Facts. In our groups we had to talk about what we felt about it, noticed about it, wondered about it, and what we thought about it. We went around to each table and got answers. From this piece of paper I learnt a few things about M&M's. I learnt how much sugar is in it, how much fat is in it and how much sodium is in it. I also learnt there is no TRANS FAT in M&M's and that a few Vitamins are included too.

We got given an article/source on a piece of paper to read. This is what the source said,

 "M and M’s are the absolute best! They are the most delicious and scrumptious choice if you are looking for a sweet treat. Did you know that M and M’s are healthy too. You will not find any trans fat in these sweet treats! M and M’s are produced in a wide variety of colours and therefore must be a real health benefits. They have recently celebrated 75 years which simply proves my point that they are the best!"

In our groups we had to talk about what we thought this article meant and also what we felt about this article. Next we talked about Bias and what Bias was. Bias kind of means when someone states their opinion and you rate it, if it is high bias it means it is less reliable and less credible (believable), if it is low bias it means it can be trusted because it is believable and backed up by evidence.

I enjoyed learning about the word "Bias" not only that but also learning about M&M's!

Question of the blog: What does Bias mean to you?

Thank you for reading this blog! I hope you learnt something! :)
