Persuasive/Propaganda techniques foldable: Students created a foldable over the four techniques we have studied this week (Bandwagon, Plain Folks, Testimonial, & Transfer). They then had to provide a definition (in their own words) and an original example of this type of technique.
Testimonial & Transfer techniques: Students worked on identifying these techniques in advertising and text. They then read an article "Not Born in the USA" and found these techniques and responded to comprehension questions. (graded)
