Bias Paragraph

Bias is your own opinion or judgement you make through your own point of view.
Bias is like a coin with two sides: subjective and objective. Subjective means you use your prior knowledge to make a decision. Objective is when you don’t allow your prior to interfere with your decision.
Having read the Three Little Pigs, Wolf demolished the two houses and he attempted murder. He makes the wrong decisions and is blinded by revenge. He was attempting murder and vandalising the Pig's property. I’m being subjective and I know that what the wolf did was wrong because vandalising and attempting murder is wrong.
On the other hand, if I don’t use my prior knowledge, I think that the wolf was just trying to be friendly and the pig’s were just being cruel to him. Now, I’m being objective and not letting my prior knowledge interfere with my statement.

We have been learning about Bias. This is my paragraph explaining what Bias is. I used the P.E.E chain, it stands for: Point, Explain and Explore.

Viewpoints



The wolf’s viewpoint:

I think the pigs treated me with horrible hospitality. All I needed from them was the sugar that I needed for the cake I was making. I had asked the first little pig who had built his house out of straw, but he had said to go away. Accidentally, I had sneezed and destroyed the house. I had asthma and couldn’t breathe properly. I saw the pig lying there under the all the mess, so I ate him to be polite. When I reached the second pig, the same thing happened again. When I asked the third pig for some sugar, he snapped back at me, telling me to go away and was talking to me badly. Usually, I’m calm, but when someone talks about me badly, I lose it. I had climbed the chimney, I should have known that a pot of boiling water awaited me at the bottom of the chimney. I’d fallen right into the pot and was nearly boiled alive! Fortunately, I survived but had severe wounds. I am not the murderer here!

The pig’s viewpoint:

I think the wolf has treated us unfairly. He stalked us in our homes and tried to kill us! The wolf destroyed my two brother’s houses. When he reached my home he tried to break in through my chimney. Out of fear, I placed a pot of boiling water underneath the chimney. I did what I thought was right, and that was to protect myself from becoming his next meal.

Over the past few days, we are learning about different viewpoints and how they can change our point of views for the story. This is a task we did, to see the difference, similarities and the viewpoints in the three little pigs.

3 Pigs Summaries

The 3 pigs:
Pigs out
built houses
A starving wolf
blew 2 houses
wolf murdered at third house
third pig prepared.
Three pigs moved out and built own houses. A starving wolf demolished 2 houses. Wolf murdered at the third house because third pig was smart.

True story of the 3 little pigs:

Wolf need sugar.
Went first two houses.
sneezed, ate two pigs
third pig teased
he caused a scene.

The wolf needed sugar, asked the two pigs. Accidentally sneezed, demolished their houses and ate them. The third pig teased him. He caused a scene.

Today we were learning about the different point of views a story has. We were given a task to write the summary of the 3 little pigs in 25 or less words. The red shows my planing and the blue is the summary. We were given 2 stories of the 3 little pigs, each a different viewpoint then the other.

Maths Strategy


Today in Maths, my group: Combination Nation solved a problem. We all tried different strategies and made posters on our own strategy. This is my strategy from the problem I solved.
