Animal Farm Propaganda Project
Create a propaganda poster, in the style of the Soviet propaganda posters, that glorifies Animal Farm.
Your poster should include:
- Characters from the novel (you can draw them, or use images from the web or magazines that you bring
into class)
-
One of the following captions incorporated into the poster:
o “Four legs good, two legs bad!”
o “Napoleon is always right!”
o “I must work harder!”
o “Four legs good, two legs better!”
o “All men are enemies! All animals are comrades!”
o OR: Another acceptable slogan or maxim from the novel, cleared by Mr. Foley.
-
An understandable Visual Message that connects to your caption and clearly connects to the story of
Animal Farm.
-
Use of at least 1 of the 4 Propaganda techniques examined in class: Name Calling, Band Wagon,
Testimonial, Transfer
Note: It is recommended that you hand-draw or create your poster. Tracing is fine if necessary. If you feel you
must, you may use images from the web, however, they must be appropriate to the story and must not come
from existing Animal Farm images circulating on the web. (For example, the image on this document)
This Poster Project is due Monday, March 21st and will be worth 100 points.
Along with your Poster, you must include a T.A.P.E. breakdown of how your work is PERSUASIVE, along
with what Propaganda Technique(s) it displays. You may cut the bottom of this page off to attach it to your
poster.
