Starting a Resistance Group

You will start a resistance group in order fight the atrocities of your assigned person or event.
In order to recruit people to your resistance group you need to do the following:
a) Give your group a name, slogan, and symbol (If there is an organized resistance group use it.)
b) Design a political poster (using two propaganda tools ) to recruit members. Use the name of your group,
your slogan and symbol. You want to motivate people to join your group and have trust in. Tell them what you
will do. This should be positive.
c) Write a commercial - 30 seconds to one minute: Focus on all the great things you can do to benefit the
country. Its a commercial so remember to focus only on the positive, ignore the negative. Make sure you have
some sort of catchy slogan which is used in your campaign. You need to use at least 2 propaganda tools which
are different from those in the poster. Record it, Prezi, or use PPT. Extra credit for background music etc. You
must also turn in a typed script which lists the propaganda tools you used. It may be audio, video or a ppt.
d)Speech - Make a persuasive argument which appeals to the masses. I need a typed copy as well as an audio
version. You are to record this. If you choose to do a ppt with images you can do that and add in your audio
files. You can also do that with PREZI. You can record on your phone or online at Vocaroo. However, your
