Propaganda Exam, Project, and Packet

You’ve got some work to do on Propaganda this week.

On Tuesday, you’ll go over the 33 techniques of traditional propaganda. You’ll need to match the technique with its definition and provide an example for each. You can review the techniques here and/or use the Quizlet for practice here.

The second day of the exam on Wednesday will cover everything else in a test that combines quotation identification, short answer, and detailed paragraph responses. All of the notes for the exam are available in this folder. There is a lot of content for this test, so definitely be prepared for a challenging exam. I have added a study guide for day two of the exam here.

The material included on the second day of the exam will be:

  • the basics of propaganda (history, data smog, propaganda/persuasion continuum)
  • George Orwell
  • Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman
  • Response to Chomsky and Herman
  • Jacque Ellul
  • Neil Postman

On the second day of the exam, please bring your packet so I can evaluate and grade your annotation of the texts.

On Thursday, your propaganda project and presentation is due in class.
