WWI+Propaganda

World War One Propaganda

 “more powerful than the navy, more dangerous than the army.”  Through out our lesson we will teach the class what the true meaning of propaganda was during World War One; no one ever realized how powerful propaganda was. We will give each student a reading guide to read and even take notes on. After they are done reading, there will be ten questions for them to answer based off their knowledge and what they just read about propaganda. The students will then be able to analyze a picture and write what this piece of propaganda is really stating. Instead of lecturing the students aboutpropaganda we decided to have a little fun. We will split the class up into a few groups in order to have fair teams, then they will be challenged to put their knowledge to the test by creating propaganda that could have possibly be used in World War One. Hope you are up for the challenge!
