Eps 64: Propaganda Project

Originally recorded on March 30, 2021. This is the big overview and explanation of the propaganda project that makes the bulk of the end-of-year project for this course. Students will create two opposing pieces of propaganda on an issue represented or touched upon by their Reader's Choice book. (Reader's Choice, for us, is a relevant novel written within certain time periods or parameters, that is relevant to our historical studies at the time. In this case, students were allowed to choose any American or British novel written between the mid-1860s and the mid-1960s.) In case you didn't catch all the titles that the students are reading this go-around, they are: White Fang The Daybreakers The Picture of Dorian Gray Old Man and the Sea Call of the Wild Catcher in the Rye 1984 The Grapes of Wrath Christy Black Beauty Peter Pan The Screwtape Letters The Great Gatsby The Invisible Man Silverlock
