Propaganda Campaign
For this project we read Animal farm which was about the Russian revolution where Stalin used propaganda to gain and obtain his power. In each group we had to pick a modern day conflict that is happening that we think we could fix. So then in our group we had to come up with 4 different poster designs that will persuade people to do the right thing and stop doing what what they are doing wrong. The modern day conflict we chose was abortion, we thought that abortion was a modern day conflict because people are killing innocent babies, and that is not right. To get this point across to people we made a propaganda campaign, and a video.
Genocide Project
For this project we read Maus 1 and Maus 2.These books were about the genocide caused by Stalin. All the Jews that were killed because of their race. For our project we chose to do the Ukrainian genocide caused by Stalin. In this genocide which stared in the early 1920s Stalin was trying to catch up with other countries and industrialize Russia. In order for him to accomplish this he thought he had to starve all his people. If anyone was found hiding food he would send them to jail or would kill them. Stalin made big farms and made the people of russia work, he would trade the crops for money with other countries.
