In this unit, I learned about bias and stereotypes in different medias. Throughout this unit, our class was given assignments to help improve our awareness to bias and stereotypes. I had to finish all the Checkology modules. Checkology had a lot of information and had activities that would help improve my knowledge in bias and stereotypes. I practiced annotating bias for different articles and ads. Also, I practiced annotating stereotypes in commercials, song music videos, song lyrics and TV shows.
In the first part of the summative, I had to annotate two news articles, one print ad, one commercial, song music video, song lyrics and a TV show. I would have to write a few paragraphs for each type of media.
This is my news annotation:

In the second part of the summative, I had to make a product that showcases bias/stereotypes and how it affects the society or individual. For the project, I decided to make a poster that explains how bias and stereotypes affect the society or individual.
This is the picture of my poster:
