Social Studies 8

Love, War and Propaganda

 

1. Keeping up with our theme of propaganda (then and now) think about the question: “To what extent is propaganda effective if the reader knows and understands its intent? Can an educated and thinking person be fooled by such a thing?”

2. Read about the Domesday Book and discuss why it was created by King William.

3. Create a two-sided poster detailing propaganda then and now. On one side will be a poster for King William declaring him King of England and his Domesday Book and on the other side will be your choice of a modern-day form of propaganda. Be creative!

 

In class we will create a rubric for the assignment. What makes a good and effective propaganda poster?
