This innovative enquiry gets students to acquire vital GCSE skills in an active manner. They compete in teams to spot subtle forms of propaganda. Can they use this new knowledge to challenge an online expert?
Working in groups teams have to spot as many different aspects of propaganda that they see. Can they get more than their opponents? It’s a race against time.
Next they classify the information they have gathered. They are finally confronted by an on-line essayist who is convinced that Triumph of the Will was a documentary. Can they use all that they have learnt to prove him wrong?
This brilliant activity was conceived by Neil Thompson. We have developed into a tried and tested enquiry. For more of Neil’s work, visit his treasure trove of a website.
