Campaign Propaganda Document Analysis:
- You are in charge of a political campaign in your state. Your candidate is three percentage points behind the other major candidate. The election is only two weeks away. You have $1 million dollars to spend on three ads – $600,000 for one ad, $300,000 for a second ad, and $100,000 for the third. The candidate you are working for has requested that each ad use a different strategy as described in the information provided.
- Meet with your number group and review the 'Campaign Propaganda Documents' and 'Corresponding Videos.' Discuss your analysis of the examples provided and collaborate as you develop answers to the questions provided.
- Upon completion of your analysis and collaboration, develop a plan which identifies the strategies you will use, specifies how much money you will spend on each strategy, and provides justifications for your decision.
