Discuss.
What information was presented in these videos?
It costs 1.6 cents to make 1 penny.
A lot of people contributed to the decision to phasing out the penny.
The Government of Canada will save 11 million dollars a year.
Penny were made since 1908.
The Queen's face is on one side and a maple leaf is on the other.
Purchases are rounded to the neared 5 cents.
Over time the penny will become worth more because it will become more rare.
Was the news article neutral or biased? How do you know?
Neutral- because it just states the facts, because the words do not say it is bad or good, they don't give their own opinion (words),
Biased- it stated many reasons why phasing out the penny is a good thing; they don't say the side effects, advertisements- don't say the negatives
