Propaganda in My Life
As COM416: Propaganda comes to an end I've reflected on the impact of propaganda in my life and value the critical analysis skills I've gained. I feel informed which, to me, is invaluable.
​
I am an educator by profession and feel compelled, now, to share some of what I've learned with my high school students.
​
For my final, 'Create to Learn', project I've designed a propaganda lesson for my high school students using two types of media. To kick off the lesson I've created introductory video to the concept of propaganda and its relationship with a term they are all familiar with, 'Fake News'. Next, we use Storify to critically examine propaganda in our lives today.
​
I hope you enjoy!
