Language Objective: Join small group and whole class discussion about propaganda components: technique (bandwagon, testimonial, transfer, emotional words, repetition), message, and target audience.
Essential Question: How do I use a storyboard to plan a commercial demonstrating propaganda techniques while conveying a message to a target audience?
Today, after SSR, we began by checking the homework. After a summary of the passage, we discussed the answers to the reading comprehension questions. The use of similes and metaphors was highlighted. Next we reviewed terms related to the study of propaganda. After class assisted modeling of the task, students were asked to begin working on a storyboard for their advertisement. This is a prelude to our upcoming student created commercials depicting the various methods of propaganda. The students will write, shoot, edit, and present their commercials to the class. The best will be shown here on our blog.Homework: Complete storyboard; SSR.
