  Dear students, In today’s lesson, you learn that media is not always fair and that it can sometimes show only one side of a story . We explore two important ideas— bias and propaganda —using easy, real-life examples that you see around you every day. You learn that bias means favouring one idea, person, or side while leaving out other views. You also learn that propaganda is created to strongly influence what people think by using repetition, strong words, and slogans . Through local and global examples such as posters, advertisements, and campaigns, you practise asking smart questions like: Who made this? What do they want me to think? What information might be missing? This lesson helps you become a media detective —someone who thinks carefully before believing everything they see or hear.
