Propaganda is advertising with the purpose of persuading
to support something rather than just merely buying
something. Methods are:
Fear
Guilt
Patriotism
Religion
Passion
All of these methods are effective. The goal is to get
people to join the war effort, this is total war. As we look
at the following posters, decide which method you think
the author is using and what the goal is of the poster.
We look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression--everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way-everywhere in the world. The third is freedom from want . . . everywhere in
the world. The fourth is freedom from fear . . . anywhere in the world.
--President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Message to Congress, January 6, 1941
Create your own propaganda:
1. The point of view you will use:
West side of class: Allied powers Britain or U.S.
East side: Axis Powers (Germany, Japan or Italy)
2. Draw your own picture
3. Create your own slogan
4. You may have an extra day if you plan to use a
computer, but you need to show me a draft of
your idea while you are in class today.
