Figuring out all these Democratic candidates

Keeping up with the news
If you need a break, get caught up on the past two week's of news (looks like the New York Times took a vacation too), with their news quiz.

Your to-do listTechniques in Campaign AdsThere are seven common propaganda techniques and brief descriptions of each are as follows: Transfer – Using popular symbols to create a positive connection between that image and the candidate. It can also be used to connect a negative image to the opponent to create a negative connotation. Glittering generalities – Uses very vague language that seeks to create an overall positive effect on the viewer to appeal to a variety of their interests. Testimonial – Support or endorsement from a well-known public figure or celebrity. Mudslinging – Much like how it sounds, this technique is used to cast the opponent in an unflattering way. Name-calling, accusations, and groundless assertions are common when this technique is applied. Bandwagon – Conveying a sense of momentum that the candidate featured in this type of advertisement is winning is the epitome of the bandwagon ad. The message of this ad is that the viewer should cast support to the candidate because they are successful. Card-stacking – This type of ad uses one-sided data to present a conclusion to the viewer that flatters a candidate and/or hurts the opponent. Omissions of information about the data that are needed to draw informed conclusions are not uncommon with this type of ad. Plain folks – When a candidate creates a likeness of himself to the homespun, down-to-earth, hard-working average voter, they are practicing this style of propaganda technique. Let's take a look at several presidential campaign ads. Do they use any of the techniques that we see above? What else do they do to convince you? Let's check out some of these ads here. We can also look at some ads from the last presidential election below. Climate Change Policy Options AdvertisementsTake a look at the Climate Change Policy Options posted below. Your task, with a teammate or two, is to create an advertisement that advocates for one of the three options. As you make your ad, consider some of the techniques that we saw used in other political ads. I would recommend apps like iMovie or Spark Video to complete this assignment.
