Okay class before we start our new
lesson, I want you to look at these photos.
What do they reveal about men, women,
and children? Describe what do you see in
the first picture.
Yes student A
The first one shows a picture of a men,
group of men specifically soldiers.
Yes. Very good!

What do you see on the next picture?
Group of women doing household chores.
Yes student b?
Very good.
How about the last picture?
Children playing.
Yes student C?
Very good.
I have another question here. Should
women always portrayed as doing
household chores and men as warriors?
Why?
No, because nowadays women can also do
what other men can do.
Very good.
C. Presentation of the lesson.

Our topic for today is Bias Detectives.
D. Lesson Proper
Will you please read the first bias
detective?
Yes student A.
Invisibility: What You Don’t See Makes a
Lasting Impression.
- The most fundamental and oldest form of
bias in instructional materials is the
complete or relative exclusion of a group.
Women, those with disabilities, gays, and
homosexuals continue to be missing from
many of today’s texts.
Thank you.
So it says here that “ What you don’t see
makes a lasting impression meaning there
is certain group of people that they do not
include in textbooks like the LGBT’s and
Disabled person which is very unfair and
bias. They should include them not only
the men and women.
Next type, will you please read?

Yes student B?
Stereotyping: Shortcuts to Bigotry
- Perhaps the most familiar form of bias is
the stereotype, which assigns a rigid set of
characteristics to all members of a group, at
the cost of individual attributes and
differences. While stereotypes can be
positive, they are more often negative.
Some typical stereotypes include: Men
portrayed as assertive and successful in
their jobs, but rarely discussed as husbands
or fathers; and women as caregivers.
In Stereotyping, it says here that there are

some who generalize one thing, for
example when they say that all of the
student in school X are not good in English
but in reality not all the students but they
already generalized it which is not fair on
the part of the students.
The next type will you please read student

C. Imbalance and Selectivity: A Tale Half Told
-Curriculum may perpetuate bias by
presenting only one interpretation of an
issue, situation, or group of people. Such
accounts simplify and distort complex
issues by omitting different perspectives.
In the third one, it says here that it is Bias

when you only present one interpretation of
an issue the fact that there are so many
other opinions and you may consider others
perspectives.
Will you please read the 4th one, yes

student D.
Unreality: Rose-colored Glasses
- Many researchers have noted the
tendency of instructional materials to gloss
over unpleasant facts and events in our
history. Another examples is the notion that
technology will solve persistent social
problems.
Okay thank you,

Unrealistic, like instead of facts and reality
is in the books almost all of them is
superficial and over sentialized meaning
they just focus on the positive side.
Will you please read the 5th one? Yes

student E.
Fragmentation and Isolation: The Parts Are
Less than the Whole
- Fragmentation emerges when a group is
physically or visually isolated in the text.
Often, racial and ethnic group members are
depicted as interacting only with person
like themselves, isolated from other
cultural communities.
In here, there is specific text which is

separated to others because of their culture.
Will you please read the 6th one? Yes

student F.
Linguistic Bias: Words Count

- Language can be a powerful conveyor of
bias, in both blatant and subtle forms.
Linguistic bias can impact race/ethnicity,
gender, accents, age, (dis)ability, and
sexual orientation.
We Filipinos are facing this kind of Bias

Detectives like most of the American
country, they are underestimating and
discriminating us because they say that we
are not good enough in using English
Language.
Will you please read the last one? Yes

student G.
Cosmetics Bias: “Shiny” Covers

- An example is a science textbook that
features a glossy pullout of female
scientists but includes precious little
narrative on the scientific contributions of
women.
Like what its says here some books like in
the science book have female scientist
cover but only include little narrative on
their contribution and it is unfair for them.
E. Generalization
Now class let us remember the different
forms of Biases? Who can enumerate the 7
Biases Detectives?
Yes Student H?
1. Invisibility
2. Stereotyping
3. Imbalance and Selectivity
4. Unrealistic
5. Fragmentation and Isolation
6. Linguistic Bias
7. Cosmetic Bias
F. Application
Please group yourselves into 4, this is
the Group1, Group2, Group3, and Group 4.
So this is the task I will ask a question and
each group will race their answers and the
group who race their answer first will be
given 2 points and to the rest will have .5.
1. Advertising being free of Bias, when it

really is not.
2. Discriminating subtly through language.
3. Separating information about certain
groups from the rest of the text.
4. “Rosy retrospection”, ignoring major
issues throughout history.
5. Only giving one point of view on a
subject.
6. Assigning rigid traits/characteristics to
certain groups, without taking into account
individually.
7. The exclusion/under- representation of
certain groups, implying insignificance.
IV. Evaluation.
Direction. Pretend that you are a group of BIAS Detectives. Using the seven forms of
bias discussed here, review your school’s English reference books/ textbooks and
identify if it has any of those forms of biases you discovered in the text books.
