Czar Nicholas II – poor leader; cruel, sometimes brutal with opponents; sometimes kind – hired students as spies to make money
Karl Marx – invented Communism; “workers of the world unite” and take over government; dies before Russian Revolution
Leon Trotsky – other leader of “October Revolution”; pure communist – followed Marx; wanted to improve life for all in Russia; chased away by Lenin’s KGB
Joseph Stalin – “devil genius”; not a good speaker, not educated like Trotsky; twenty-five year reign of fear in Russia

ames Name calling:
- links a person or idea to a negative symbol- hope that audience will reject the person or idea based on the symbol rather than available evidence- most obvious kind involves bad names- more subtle involves words that possess a negative or emotional charge
-anything come to mind?
Wor

ames
Glittering generalities:- make the audience approve and accept without examining the evidence- Using emotionally charged words- Make something unpleasant seem more acceptable
The Glittering Generality is, in short, Name Calling in reverse. While Name Calling seeks to make us form a judgment to reject and condemn without examining the evidence, the Glittering Generality device seeks to make us approve and accept without examining the evidence.

Transfer: - Using things people accept to get the public to accept something else
- symbols constantly used- an idea or program should not be accepted or rejected simply because it has been linked to a symbol/something else

Testimonial:
- misuse in citing individuals who are not qualified to make judgments about a particular issue
Example: In my last movie, I saved my family from terrorists and I'm supporting this party because they will save you from terrorists!

Fear:- warn audience that disaster will result if they don’t follow a particular course of action
Four elements for a successful fear campaign:
1. Threat2. Specific recommendation of
how to behave 3. Perception that
recommendation will reduce threat
4. Perception that the audience is capable to performing the behavior

Bad logic: - logic is the process of drawing a conclusion from one or more ideas/facts- propagandists intentionally manipulate logic in order to promote their cause
Unwarranted extrapolation:- extrapolation is a tendency to make huge predictions about the future on the basis of a few facts- such predictions often form the basis for an effective fear-appeal

a• You should be aware of the message the media sends to you and how they do it.
• In Animal Farm, you should be aware of the messages the animals are being given by the pigs, how the pigs are giving the messages, and how the animals are responding to the messages.
DO NOW
Explain what type of propaganda this is and, most importantly, why it fits in that category.
Do Now 4/6/11•What is Squealer’s role at the end of chapter 3? What is he doing when he goes to talk with the other animals? You might have to look back at the text to truly understand what he is doing.
