Step Two

Last week we focused on step two of critical thinking, collect and judge information. We talked about fact and opinion, consistent and inconsistent, making assumptions and stereotypes. On Thursday the students watched a video on Rosa Parks, which I thought tied in well with stereotypes.

This week we are learning about propaganda. Today we talked about six techniques that can be used in propaganda and I explained the propaganda project. This project is due Monday. The students will get at least two class days to work on it. I will post more information about the requirements soon!
