    • Generalization
    • Euphemism
    • Appeal to Celebrity / Authority
    • Bandwagon
    • Fear

  • Finally, you'll have WORK TIME for the following:
    • You'll write a draft (1/2 page, typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman, size 12) of a persuasive speech of your own. You must use at least three of the propaganda techniques we've discussed. Your audience will be this class. Your topic/purpose is up to you, but you must be trying to persuade us of something! 
    • Two assigned video lessons on Khan Academy.
