1984 Propaganda Hello comrades. As a member of the Party, it is your task to communicate to the citizens of your great nation their responsibilities to our version of Big Brother. What is our version? Corporate greed? Political agendas? Government rule? Building a wall? Your Assignment: In groups of no more than six, create a propaganda poster for “The Party” from this day and age (the year you’re living in now). You and your comrades are working for the Ministry of Truth and are in charge of making posters for Hate Week. This is a big deal! You need to get the people to hate something as much as you can, or to love Big Brother and The Party. You may also choose to do corporate slogans. The Alternative: Same as above, except replace “The Party” with “The Resistance”. You work for the resistance in awakening the population to some truth about our world. Your task is to awaken the population to the things that control everything from our personal habits such as what we consume, to how we are expected to comport ourselves in the world. Your digital or paper poster should have: An illustration or graphic. If hand drawn, then great. If your own digital picture, fine. If from the internet, make sure you’ve doctored it, or created a collage of some sort. A message or slogan of the party or resistance The purpose of this poster is to present one concept that is valued or hated in our great civilization. This assignment tests your general understanding and comprehension of '1984' It is primarily focused on the general ideas and philosophies of how we are all controlled in some way, and the ways we can awaken to this (legally and with respect for other beliefs). Slogans from 1984 you can use and frame into a modern graphic or illustration: “War is Peace” “Freedom is slavery” “Ignorance is Strength” For the resistance? Meat is Murder? The best thing about waking up is arsenic in your cup? Your own choice here. Due Date: _________________________ Propaganda Poster Rubric Categories Excellent 4pts Good 3pts Mediocre 2pts Poor 1pt.
