It's not as easy as you might think. What is propaganda anyway? As some of you know, before he became a teacher, Mr. Donn spent a career in Military Intelligence as a member of the SSA at NSA (the National Security Agency, or the No-Name Agency, as they like to say in the movies.) This 45-55 minute lesson includes propaganda materials we don't often see as they are typically dropped in massive quantities over enemy territory. Very neat stuff! Feel free to use these materials in your classrooms.
