PROPAGANDA WEB QUEST

 

Propaganda techniques are often used in Nonfiction.  Essentially, they are persuasive techniques used to establish a position.


Propaganda Web Quest- PLEASE COMPLETE INDIVIDUALLY


1 Complete the following Web Quest
2. Create a Google Slide presentation for your answers
3. Turn your propaganda Web Quest's in to Google Classroom by 10/28 Before you enter class.

Web Quest - PROPAGANDA- READ ALOUD IN CLASS:
Purpose: The Propaganda WebQuest was designed to help students to view the commercial world around them with a more critical eye. Its primary function is to focus students on the varied techniques employed by advertisers in order to sway public opinion. The culminating activity of creating an illustrative advertisement employing one of the techniques introduced will further synthesize the students perception of advertising tactics. Propaganda, in this case, is primarily focused on advertising. There is some background information that includes historical governmental propaganda techniques and posters, but the primary focus of this activity is to steer the students toward the marketing that is before them every day.


It's not as easy as you might think to spot hidden messagesthese techniques are designed to fool us because they appeal to our emotions rather than our reason. Propaganda designers know that you are on your guard, to get around your guard they don't put one message into a piece of propaganda they put lots of messages into one piece! The more you know about propaganda techniques and how they work, the less likely it is that someone will sneak something by you. That's why it's important to understand what propaganda is and how it works.  

Task 1:
A.  Review the PowerPoint: 


DIRECTIONS:
MAKE YOUR OWN PRESENTATION USEING GOOGLE SLIDES.

SLIDE 1- YOUR NAME AND TITLE/ PROPAGANDA

SLIDE 2 : What is Propaganda?

SLIDE 3:

  1. Where does the word “propaganda” originate from?

  2. How does Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary define the word?

  3. There are three specific words in Webster’s definition that are key to the definition and help clarify the meaning. What are they and how do they work to describe

SLIDE 4:
1. Propaganda can carry a negative connotation with it. Name two reasons why that is true and indicate which is most responsible for the connotation
SLIDE 5:
