Ready, Set, Go.....
Propaganda Project
Students will be working in class in groups on this project. They will make decisions as a group, and depend on each other to fulfill their commitment. This project requires several things for the group to do individually and as a group.
1. Every student must bring an item from home and some ideas for the group to discuss.
- Example: I may bring an empty Pringles can.
- Ideas: I could name it Smart Gas , it makes you smarter and if you smell it before a test you will definitely make an “A!” Slogan idea might be,” Smell smart!”
- NOTE: They may not bring anything that is against school rules and are responsible for their item. They must also keep the item in their locker until time to bring to class.
2. Every student will share their ideas and item with the group and the group will together decide which item they will use. They may also decide to use an item, but change the name, slogan and ideas as long as the whole group agrees.
3. The group must then write down their ideas to create a commercial. First they need to decide which propaganda technique they want to use for their commercial. They will need to write a script, create a slogan, discuss what props they need, who will bring what and practice performing.
4. All commercials will be performed and recorded on Friday. I will be watching the groups all week on working together.
5. Students will be graded on
- Team work
- Creativity and using props
- Having a slogan
- Creating a commercial
- Using a propaganda technique
- Being at least 30 seconds long
