Notes

• This project is to be completed in groups of three.

• Each group member is responsible for 4 slides.

• Each presentation must have an opening slide with cover art and a famous quotation –

slide # 1.

• Each presentation must have an ID slide with the names of all group members in

alphabetical order – slide # 2.

• Each presentation must have a thesis statement slide – slide # 3.

• You must send your project to me in a pdf PowerPoint presentation or Google Doc/Google

Drive presentation via the clevelandhs.org website or ritahall1984@gmail.com.

• Save your file as: I-AF Propag-Abraham (the name of the person who is first alphabetically

in the group) or II-AF Propag-Barnes). The Roman numerals refer to the class periods.

• The 12 misleading propaganda techniques slides may be presented in order of your

choice.

• Each Animal Farm slide must include a relevant citation from the novel with the page and

paragraph number exactly like this: (143:3) – which means your citation is on page 134

and paragraph 3.

• This is an example of a citation example: “Funny, but the Bill of Life was supposed to

protect the sanctity of life. Instead it just made life cheaper.” (53:5)

• Be sure to use citations properly with the end punctuation mark before the end quotation

mark followed by the page and paragraph citation in parenthesis.

• Title slides, with the name of the upcoming technique, should precede each slide set.

• ✮ There should be no more than two slides on a single propaganda technique subject.

• Slide(s) should have images (background and/or other) and explain how the propaganda

technique is presented in the novel in a bulleted narrative (full sentence) format.

• Do not use background images that make reading difficult to see.

Creativity Corner

(Each group member shares these final responsibilities. • For your 13th propaganda technique, create one original technique of your own – it may or

may not be misleading: name it and provide its definition on the title slide. Then make two

slides to show how it is used in the real world (on one slide) and how it is used in Animal

Farm (on another.

• On your last slide, end with artwork and a famous quotation that sums up your study of

propaganda.
