Propaganda Techinques

Read the essay by Ann McCintock, "Propaganda Techniques." Do the prereading assignment first and then read the essay and respond to the questions at the end of the essay. In the writing questions, respond to one in a paragraph.

Monday, May 17, 2010, we will continue our conversation on argumentation. I plan to show students a video and we'll do some activities.

Wednesday, May 19, 2010 we will take Grammar Exam 2 and work on portfolios. It is our last meeting. If there are any essays out which you have not gotten grades on, make sure you let me know before May 19, 2010.

I will post the portfolio checklist and questions this week, before or by Friday, May 14, 2010.

McClintock believed we should not be persuaded by advertising, instead we should think for ourselves. The meaning to the following words; seduced means to win over, warmonger is one who attempts to stir up conflict and elite is a superior group.
