Factors That Allow Bias to “Creep in” to Media Texts
CANADA’S HISTORY: Voices and Visions © 2003 Gage Learning Corporation 145
B L A C K L I N E M A S T E R 6P R O L O G U E
• Bias through selection. An editor can express a bias by choosing whether or not touse a specific news item, and by deciding what details can be ignored or shouldbe included. By comparing news reports from a wide variety of outlets this typeof bias can be observed.
• Bias through omission. A writer tells each story through a particular perspective,which sometimes means deliberately or inadvertently ignoring other perspectives.For example, history is often told from the male point of view, while ignoring thefemale perspective. Similarly, First Nations voices are sometimes ignored inmedia texts.
• Bias through placement. Where a story is placed influences what a reader or viewerthinks about its importance.
• Bias by headline. Headlines can convey excitement or drama where little exists.They can express condemnation or approval. They can present carefully hiddenbias and prejudices.
• Bias by photographs, captions, and camera angles. Which photos a newspaperchooses to run can influence the public’s perception of a person or an event.Similarly, the choice of which visual images to broadcast on a TV news report is acritical influence on the audience’s perceptions of an event or a person. The cap-tions and the narration of a TV anchor or reporter are also potential sources of bias.
• Bias through the use of names and titles. For example, in many places around theworld, one person’s “terrorist” is another person’s “freedom fighter.” Audiences’perceptions can be influenced by the choice of terms.
• Bias by choice of words. The use of words with particular connotations can stronglyinfluence the reader’s or viewer’s perceptions and reveal the writer’s perspective.

Instructions for Inspiration Concept Map
CANADA’S HISTORY: Voices and Visions © 2003 Gage Learning Corporation 151
B L A C K L I N E M A S T E R 12C H A P T E R 2
1. Find Inspiration (5 or 6) on the desktop, or within the “Start” button, under“Programs,” over to “Productivity Tools,” and over to “Inspiration.”
2. Open Inspiration and you will see “Main Idea” highlighted. Type in the words“Impact of Contact.”
3. Put your cursor on the “Rapid Fire” icon (looks like a lightning bolt) and clickonce. You will see a red lightning bolt appear after the words you typed.
4. Type in one example of the impact that contact made on Aboriginal peoples,such as “Diseases killed many people.” Click “enter” and wait until the head-ing appears. Note that the red lightning bolt is still active.
5. Type in a second impact of contact and click “enter.” Continue doing this untilyou have listed all of the impacts. You will have created a concept map withyour ideas linked to the main theme.
6. Go up to the icon “Arrange” and switch the “Diagram Type” from “Top DownTree” to “Right Tree,” and click OK. You will see that your ideas have beenarranged in a hierarchical line.
7. Think about which impacts caused the greatest change to Aboriginal societies.Put your cursor on the impact that should go at the top of the list and drag itup to the top and release. Make sure you release it slightly above the one thatis at the top. Then put your cursor on that one and drag it to the empty posi-tion. Find the second-greatest impact, put your cursor on it and drag it to thesecond position. Continue doing this until you have ranked your ideas fromgreatest impact at the top to least impact at the bottom.
Optional — On the side there is an icon menu labeled “Basic.” Click onthe downward (middle) arrow at the top of this menu and scroll down to“Numbers.” Click on your top impact to activate it (you will see four red boxessurrounding it), then click on the “number 1” icon. You will see that theimage has changed to the numbered label. Continue to activate each impactidea and change it to the appropriate number in the ranking order.
8. Print your concept map by going to “File” and the “Print” option.
9. Repeat this procedure and make a second hierarchical concept map for the“Impact of Contact upon European Societies” (textbook page 32). Print it, andbring both concept maps to the next class. Be prepared to justify your ranking.
ADVANCED COMPUTER SKILLS — Enhance your concept map with images fromthe History 11 Web site. Minimize “Inspiration” while you open and search the sitefor images that suit your ideas. Cut and paste the images onto activated concepts.

Reading Strategies
CANADA’S HISTORY: Voices and Visions © 2003 Gage Learning Corporation 211
Before Reading
• Look for captions, photos, headings, charts, and other visuals, to predict what thechapter or unit is about.
• Consider what you already know about the topic.• Make predictions about what you are going to read.• Ask questions about the section you will read.
During Reading
• Vary your rate of reading to fit your purpose and the type of text.• Skim and scan for important information.• Form images in your mind. Try to visualize what is happening.• Think about what you are reading (Does this make sense? Does it fit with what I
already know? Is this confirming my predictions?).• Ask yourself whether you understand what you are reading. If not, try to deter-
mine why you don’t understand.• When you find something you do not understand, reread, read on, slow down,
start again, ask someone, and/or ask more questions.• Consider what are the most important points to remember.
After Reading
• Check to see if your predictions were accurate.• Consider whether you found the information you were looking for.• Consider whether you understand what you read. Are you able to describe in your
own words what the chapter or passage was about? Can you explain to someoneelse what the text was about?
• Try to summarize the chapter or passage in a paragraph. Also, try to state in oneor two sentences what the most important point was.
• Find key words in the text and use those words in sentences of your own.• Ask yourself whether you need to do more research on this topic to under-
stand it fully. • Think about how you will use the information you have learned.

KWL Strategy
212 CANADA’S HISTORY: Voices and Visions © 2003 Gage Learning Corporation
B L A C K L I N E M A S T E R 71G E N E R A L R E F E R E N C E
The KWL strategy asks students to identify what they
Know — what they already knowWant to know— what they want to knowLearned — what they learned in the lesson or unit
The results for each phase are recorded in a three-column chart (K-W-L).
Procedure
The Know Phase
• The teacher introduces the topic (that is, tells the students what it is, shows ashort video, reads a passage, does a lab demonstration).
• The class brainstorms the topic. • Students individually write down all they know about the topic (trying to expand
on what was said) in the K column. • Students look for natural clusters of terms and write down suggested categories
at the bottom of the K column.
Note: The list of terms in that column can alert teachers to strengths or weaknessesin vocabulary.
The Want-to-Know Phase
• Students share lists of terms and categories with partners and then with the restof the class.
• Students can build a class Concept Map in the W column. This shows what somestudents know and helps others identify what they need to learn.
• Students list questions below the map or list of terms. These questions could bea result of discussing the material or from building their list in the K column.
The Learned Phase
• The teacher proceeds with the lesson or unit. • Students add questions to the W list. • Students begin to write down answers to their questions in the L column.

Analysing Pictures and Cartoons
CANADA’S HISTORY: Voices and Visions © 2003 Gage Learning Corporation 215

Pictures
A historical picture can provide the observer with a wealth of information. You caninfer information about such things as fashion, technology, transportation, andlifestyles. In order to acquire all the information possible from this kind of source,the following steps are suggested:
• Create a chart with two columns, titled Description and Inference. Under theDescription column, use a separate line, or row, to describe each element of thepicture. Be as specific as possible.
• Under the Inference column, list one or two inferences that you can make aboutthe people and time.
• The inferences could be organized under a separate set of titles, such as trans-portation, fashion, technology, lifestyle, etc.
• Express your analysis of the image based on your inferences. • Try to determine whether the picture was posed or a natural shot. What effect
does your answer have on your analysis? For example, a posed picture may try toconvey a certain meaning, whereas a natural pose allows one to provide morethan one interpretation.
Cartoons
Cartoons present a point of view through the use of visuals, symbols, and captions.The creator usually attempts to present a humorous dimension to the visual, butthe message can be both humorous and serious. Virtually the entire cartoon con-tributes to the message. The creator tends to exaggerate physical features of indi-viduals or highlight their faults and/or strengths. The cartoon usually focusses on asignificant issue of the time.
Interpreting cartoons requires the ability to identify symbols and their meaningand relate them to the message of the cartoon. There are a variety of symbols thathave been used to identify the specific characters, such as Napoleon with his handin his jacket, Joseph Stalin’s and Adolf Hitler’s mustaches, Pierre Trudeau’s rose,Franklin Roosevelt’s pince-nez, haloes for saints, etc.
In order to fully and accurately interpret cartoons, the following steps are suggested:
• Describe the cartoon in detail• If the cartoon includes symbols, create a chart with three columns. The first col-
umn is for a description of the object, the second should indicate the usual inter-pretation of the symbol, and the third column should indicate the particularsignificance or interpretation of the symbol.
• Try to determine the time period illustrated in the cartoon.• Relate the message of the cartoon to an event or personality of the time.• Interpret the cartoon as presenting either a positive view or a criticism.

Debating
216 CANADA’S HISTORY: Voices and Visions © 2003 Gage Learning Corporation
B L A C K L I N E M A S T E R 75G E N E R A L R E F E R E N C E
Debates can involve teams or individuals.
Team Good team method involves unity and logic. Unity is created by all mem-bers being aware of the definition, what the other speakers have said, and what theteam line is. Each member of the team needs to reinforce the team line and beconsistent with what has already been said, and with what will be said by the othermembers of their team.
Individual You must structure your own speech well. The first step is to have aclear idea of your own arguments and the examples that you will be using to sup-port those arguments. As you speak, make a clear division between arguments andlet the audience know when you are moving from one argument to the next.
When you are presenting one particular argument, ensure that the argument islogical and that you make clear links between your team line and the argument,and between the argument and the examples that you will use to support it.
Rebuttal should be organized the same way. You should critique each argumentthat the opposition presents in turn. You should spend a little time on each andthen move on to the next argument. This will allow you to provide a well-organizedand effective rebuttal of your opponent’s arguments.
In a debate, speakers must speak spontaneously, even though they have preparedtheir arguments ahead of time. It is essential that debaters listen carefully to eachspeaker and then quickly plan how they will present their own arguments in the moststrategic manner. Ensure that you organize your speech well in terms of time.
Following are some tips on how to present your argument in an effective manner:
Cue Cards Do not write out your debate on cue cards. Debating is an exercise inlively interaction between two teams, and between the teams and the audience —not in reading a speech. Use cue cards the same way you would use a prompt in aplay; they are there for reference if you lose your spot.
Eye Contact If you look at the audience, you will hold their attention.
Voice There are many things you can do with your voice to make it effective. Youmust project so that you can be heard, but four minutes of constant shouting willbecome very annoying very quickly. Use volume, pitch, and pacing to emphasizeimportant points in your speech.
Body Make hand gestures deliberately and with confidence. Move your head andupper body to maintain eye contact with all members of the audience.

Strategies for Searching the Internet
CANADA’S HISTORY: Voices and Visions © 2003 Gage Learning Corporation 219
B L A C K L I N E M A S T E R 78G E N E R A L R E F E R E N C E
Identify Keywords When conducting a search, break down the topic into key con-cepts. For example, in searching for information on the role of Louis Riel in theNorth-West Rebellion, you could focus on:
• Louis Riel• Role• North-West Rebellion
Boolean And Placing “and” between search terms tells the search engine to retrieveWeb pages containing all the keywords.
• Louis Riel and Role and North-West Rebellion
Boolean Or Placing “or” between the search terms tells the search engine to retrieveWeb pages containing any and all keywords.
• Louis Riel (or North-West Rebellion)
“Or” expands the search results because the search engine finds pages with a single keyword, several keywords, and all keywords. You should use “or” when thereare common synonyms for a keyword. Use parentheses around “or” statements forbest results.
Boolean And Not “And not” tells the search engine to retrieve Web pages containingone keyword, but not the other.
• Vietnam and not War• Yalta and not Conference
You should use “and not” when you have a keyword that has more than one mean-ing. The need for “and not” often becomes apparent after you do an initial searchthat results in the retrieval of many different sites.
Implied Boolean: + and - In many search engines, the plus and minus symbols canbe used as alternatives to the Boolean “and” and “and not.” The plus sign (+) isthe equivalent of “and,” and the minus sign (-) is the equivalent of “and not.”There is no space between the plus or minus sign and the keyword.
Phrase Searching Surrounding a group of words with double quotation marks tellsthe search engine to retrieve only those documents in which those words appearside-by-side. Phrase searching is a powerful search technique for significantly nar-rowing your search results, and it should be used as often as possible. For example,
• “Red River Rebellion”• “League of Nations” • “Thirteen Colonies”
