• Is my English presentation biased?
    12 replies, posted
I don't know, internet. My English teacher is apparently giving be a bad grade for being super duper biased on my project. This is a video I made for my presentation, with annotations summarizing what I said after I played each part. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyxL-5J8St4[/media] A side note being that my English teacher doesn't [openly] believe in evolution and refuted my claims that we came from African great apes (though this was like months ago before the project was given), so is she being biased? I'm just really nitpicky about my grades, and I was given the topic of "Religion in Education."
She's just butthurt.
To be honest, it seems like the video is much more concerning evolution VS religion rather than Religion and its place in education and issues thereof.

I only mentioned evolution twice in my presentation, but tried not to say that I think evolution is correct and creationism is incorrect.
wow it must suck having a cunt for a teacher

not sure about biased but i would have failed you for making a video project out of clips you found on the internet (unless if that was the assignment, then raar raar what a bitch)
[QUOTE=CheeseMan;27254188]This seems like your problem here[/QUOTE] Ah, I guess If I think about it, people can see that as more of an opinion. Damn dude, it's hard to get facts from court cases and articles on religious topics without being somewhat biased. Well, it's hard for me. The video clips from the internet were in between my speeches. We were allowed to use any form of media and I thought that video clips were a fun way to break after talking for so long. Here's a screenie of my works cited: [url]http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/7070/creationismsite.png[/url] [QUOTE=Penis Colada;27254154]wow it must suck having a cunt for a teacher[/QUOTE] She's pretty nice most of the time and one of those cool teachers, but this is really the only time she spoke up and I disagreed with her.
She sounds like an old hag called Margaret. Or Olga. Can't you tell the principle? She shouldn't be able to give you a bad grade for that.

Check your presentation for bias shit or else you're going to look like an asshole in front of the class.

But then again, I'm not an atheist. I'm an agnostic Catholic slightly on the border of atheism. The project was on presenting facts, and as my teacher said it, be like a News reporter. I was a News reporter alright, but it looks like I was a News reporter for Fox. [editline]blurgh[/editline] Blurgh. I want to forget about this now. Bury this thread, yo's. Quit replying.
