Persuasive Techniques and Propaganda Academic English 10 Mrs. Weis

What is Propaganda? Persuasive techniques applied by politicians, journalists, television personalities, and others to accomplish their desired ends. These techniques persuade us not through the give-and-take of argument and debate, but through manipulating symbols and basic human emotions.

What do these images have in common? They are all used to influence you to do something. They are all examples of propaganda!

WHAT? A message used to persuade you to believe something or do something Propaganda WHY? To persuade you to buy something, think something, or do something. WHO? Corporations Government Individuals WHERE? Commercials Packaging Speeches Stores Billboards Internet Newspapers Everywhere! HOW? There are 7 propaganda techniques we will learn

The 1st type of Propaganda is… Bandwagon Persuading people to do something by letting them know others are doing it. All the cool kids are doing it Everybody has one!

Bandwagon video clips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ay4WfBVKDmU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po0jY4WvCIc

Bandwagon works because it makes you think “everyone is doing it” and you should too. Why is this sign considered BANDWAGON?

The 2nd type of Propaganda is… Testimonial Using words and images of a famous person or an expert to persuade.

Forms of Propaganda Advertisements Editorials Speeches Reviews Blogs Persuasive Essays

Why use Propaganda? Advertisements try to convince us to buy or do something. Speeches try to convince us to take action. Reviews evaluate items like books or movies and state an opinion as to whether the product is worth the reader’s time and money. Persuasive essays use logic, reason, and emotion to convince readers to join the writer in a certain point of view.

Supporting Arguments Three types of appeals: Logical Appeal (Logos) – Does the author’s proposal make sense? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTnFF9ruLZ0 Ethical Appeal (Ethos) – Is the author’s proposal the right thing to do? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9z2FVmVb14 Emotional Appeal (Pathos) – Will accepting the author’s proposal make me feel better? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwhzbzZSAYg
