Based on our analysis of propaganda advertisements, use your dystopian society novel to create a propaganda advertisement produced by the “government/power” What message does the “government” in your novel want to get across to the people? What are they covering up? What are they controlling? What sacrifices are the peopled forced to face? How can they put a positive spin on things?

You will continue to learn more as you read
ALL DYSTOPIANS HAVE SOME KIND OF CONTROL
You might not know who’s in power, but that’s okay!
What information would the society like to keep going/ keep people believing in / keep things in order with?
Think of the different types of propaganda and consider which tactics your society would rely more heavily on.
