Students Have Opportunities for Creativity and Choice

1) Mockaganda Posters

Students chose one of the seven types of propaganda, and both demonstrated it in their image and ‘mocked’ it by showcasing the technique’s flaws.

2) Newspaper Article Writing

Students chose the event they would research, and then compiled physical newspapers set in that time period.
