Propaganda
Techniques Can
YOU find the secret messages hidden in propaganda? 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.
