Summary

Let’s see how propaganda techniques can make even something great seem bad.

  1. Students are introduced to logical fallacies and how they are used in propaganda. They learn the definition of Ad Hominem and see some of my examples. Then they brainstorm some of their own examples of Ad Hominem on the Brainstorm Worksheet.
  2. Students learn about the Slippery Slope technique, see some of my examples, and brainstorm some of their own.
  3. Next, students learn about Stacking the Deck.
  4. The fourth technique is Bandwagoning.
  5. And the final technique is Appeal to Fear.
  6. In the end, students pick a great idea, person, or invention and plan an argument *against it* using at least three types of logical fallacies.
