"Simply Persuading Propaganda"

1. If you were trying to persuade someone to do something, what would you do and why? If I was trying to persuade someone, I would probably make a catchy tune so that people can memorize the product. I would say a whole bunch of good things about the product.

2. Define propaganda as though you were telling a third grader. Propaganda is telling somebody stuff that is not true to try and convince them to believe them.

3. Tell six different places where you find propaganda.(so don't name six commercials ect.) I find propaganda on the radio, in newspaper ads, in the government, on a commercials, at stores, and in magazines.

4. Define, as though a fourth grader, 5 techniques of propaganda you find online.(google)

5. Tell about a commercial that uses propaganda. Why does this propaganda work so well? The WhuNu commercial uses propaganda. It works so well because in the commercial, it says the cookies are nutritious, but still delicious.

6. Why do people use propaganda? People use propaganda to persuade people to believe what they are trying to tell them.

7. Why do people use persuasive techniques? What is the point? People use persuasive techniques to persuade people to buy their product. Persuasive techniques help people and give them ideas on how to sell their product.

8. Tell about a commercial that gets stuck in your head a lot. Why does this get stuck in your head? How do you feel about this commercial? A commercial that gets stuck in m head a lot is the WhoNu cookie commercial because I see the commercial a lot on t.v. and the tune is very catchy. "How delicious is nutritious too? WhuNu?", the commercial says. I feel like the cookies may have some ingredients in them that are good for you, but probably a lot of sugar in them. It makes me want to have one because they look delicious.
