Propaganda

* Ask students about the definition of propaganda/ Discuss their thoughts and opinions

* Ask students if they have seen propaganda used, if so, how it effected them and ask them what the aim of the propaganda is

* Give students examples of propaganda: advertisements and texts and discuss propaganda techniques

* Watch TED Talk: Inside a school for suicide bombers & discuss

* Read articles on http://www.propagandacritic.com, e.g. Anti-American propaganda from Afghanistan (different perspectives)

* Writing assignment: write a manifesto in which they create a fake organisation to convince people to join their organisation.
