Description:
Nonfiction is never completely objective. Students need critical thinking skills to evaluate nonfiction texts like op-ed essays and news reports, and Reading & Analyzing Nonfiction: Slant, Spin & Bias helps them develop these skills. Students will read and analyze rigorous historical and contemporary texts like The Declaration of Independence and Pulitzer Prizewinning editorials. Exercises and writing assignments will help students learn to recognize biased writing and avoid falling for flimsy arguments.

This book will help students to:

  • Distinguish fact from interpretation and opinion
  • Analyze arguments to reveal logical fallacies, bias, and propaganda
  • Evaluate a writer s effectiveness in conveying a message to a specific
    audience
  • Reduce bias and fallacious reasoning in their own writing
Each Complete Classroom Set Includes 30 student editions, 1 teacher s guide and 1 test pack.
