Propaganda Everywhere Extra Credit

Your assignment is to go to The Living Room Candidate and analyze campaign ads to tell me what propaganda technique is being used and explain whether or not you think it was effective.  On the left-hand side of the website you will see a list of election years.  

Directions:

  1. You must pick 3 different videos.
  2. The videos can be from any election year.
  3. For each video write 5-8 sentences explaining IN DETAIL which propaganda technique was used AND if you think it was effective or not.
  4. You MAY NOT use any video we showed in class.
  5. You MUST write down the name of the ad which is listed above the video when you play it.

You will receive a grade on whether or not you wrote enough and about the right thing and a second grade on how well you explain your thoughts.

PR & AD answers will be at least 5-8 sentences and will give details & specifics regarding which technique was used and why you thought it was effective or not.
