Animal Farm: The
speech
Directions:
Propaganda is the manipulation and control of language. Using the sheet of terms that you were given
on propaganda, please write a one pg typed speech where you address the
Tantasqua student body to convince them to elect you as the new “supreme
ruler.” Your speech must include the
following:
- A scapegoat: Even if they are not directly
responsible, you need to identify a person to blame all of the problems
on.
- Faulty Cause and Effect Reasoning: A statement where no logical cause is
given for the effect.
- Bandwagon Effect: Everyone else is voting for you, so you
should as well.
- Euphemism: Use words to soften the true meaning.
- Oversimplification: Making things so simple that you try to
cover the real meaning.
Please place a small number to
correspond to the above examples at the end of the sentence or statement.
After:
You will be required to give your
speech to the class. For extra credit,
you may choose to demonstrate begging
the question. Remember, this is done
by skillfully avoiding the question.
