Language Objective: Join small group and whole class discussion during editorial cartoon deconstruction; identify and discuss propaganda components: technique (bandwagon, testimonial, transfer, emotional words, repetition), message, and target audience.
Essential Question: How do editorial cartoons and video demonstrate propaganda techniques while conveying a message to a target audience?
Following SSR, students reformed pairs to continue their examination of a series of editorial cartoons concerning the global warming debate; next, the students answered questions concerning symbols and message. Using the data projector, we viewed and discussed the cartoons. Following this, we viewed a couple of videos: one by Leonardo Dicaprio, a trailer for An Inconvenient Truth, and a parody featuring Will Ferrell as George Bush talking about "global warmings" from Crawford. These activities were developed in preparation for our upcoming coastal trip.
