Bias Busters

In this worksheet, students examine an advertisement to locate examples of biased, exaggerated, or emotionally loaded language. They underline phrases that show favoritism, overstatement, or extreme wording. Students then explain how each example could influence a reader’s emotions, decisions, or perceptions. This activity teaches students to identify manipulation within ads and to understand how language choices shape consumer responses. By analyzing bias, students become more critical and discerning readers.
