Propaganda Patrol Answer Key

In this worksheet, students identify propaganda techniques in a promotional-style passage. They underline or highlight key phrases that demonstrate bandwagon, fear, and glittering generalities. Each technique is listed separately, and students explain why it is persuasive in that instance. Reflection questions require students to compare propaganda to neutral advertising and analyze effectiveness. Additionally, learners rewrite part of the passage in a factual, unbiased tone. This helps them understand how manipulative techniques differ from balanced communication. The activity builds media literacy and awareness of persuasive tactics.
