Since I am sick I think I forgot my propaganda notes at school so since the test in tomorrow, can somebody please type up the notes we need to know for the test?

Thanks a lot,
Maddie

(Maggie- you probably already found your answer, but it said on my absent sheet that they were due Friday.)

Mary Grace Parker said...

Maddie, I am sick too and need the same thing.

Oh my god I just read Chapter XXIII in Chains...... I almost cried that is so wrong and so upsetting!!! They basically scared her for life like they would with a cow or horse... That is about the saddest thing I have ever read...
I like this author she writes beautifully. I want to read the second book, Forge. It's not out yet.

Sorry I have to post this quote I love it...

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."

Maddie and MG,

2F-B.o.t.t.

Framing- giving only specific facts that support their product and ignoring ones that don't...(20% lean as opposed to 80% fat)

Faulty Cause and Effect- telling people that they will be happier or better if they use that product

Bandwagon- persuades people to join in and use/do the same thing because "everyone else is"

Overgeneralization- general statements based on few facts

Testimonial- an important person or famous figure who says they like/use the product

Transfer- good feelings, looks, or ideas transferred to teh person for whom the product is intended

Hope this helps!!

Was my little sister supposed to bring the book "Chains" home with her????? It says on my absence sheet that I am supposed to continue reading chain, but I haven't received the book yet.

Unknown said...

Maddie for your first question we did an activaty and there was a lady on the cover of a magazine who looked elegant so people think the product will also make you look elegant so it was transfer

D@vid said...

Ya Maddie u need to see if in tranfer the person is advertising and not speaking at the same time then it is probobly tranfer.

Maddie Weber said...

Mr.B,
is Mary Grace's and my essay due 2morrow because I am only on the powerplan (basicly done with it) and Mary Grace hasn't even showed up to skool yet so the whole grade of the paper would depend on me (and trust me, Mary Grace doesn't want that). But if it NEEDS to be due tomorrow I think maybe i can but preferably not. i realize that was a long run on.

are we supposed to name all of the parts of the heart and what they do in the writing of the paragraph because it just says:

Explain what the heart is, what size it is, and where it is located in your body.

Explain why the first attempt to create a form of government after the Revolutionary War fail. What were the competing alternatives that were presented at the Constitutional Convection in 1787, and how did delegates eventually reach a compromise to create the form of government.
By Matthew McCall & Charlie Ham

A fly scurries into James Madison’s Eye while Edmund Ben Franklin and Edmund Randolph argue there cases about how to make the government better. What a way to start the Continental Convection. The first attempt to create a form of government after the Revolutionary War failed, and there were competing alternatives that were presented at the Constitutional Convection in 1787. The delegates eventually reached a compromise to create the form of a government.
The first attempt to form a government failed because of these certain reasons. Each individual state produced their own money, yet the money was worth different amounts in different states. Factually, the government only formed one branch, and the branch was called Legislative or to referred to as Congress. Someone could be rich in one state, but be average in wealth in another state. This government was in more trouble than a criminal.
Different people had new ideas about how to reform the new government. The Virginia plan said that heavier populated states should have more representation in Congress. The New Jersey plan stated that less populated states would loose their freedom because of few state representatives. Additional to the Legislative Branch, the Virginia Plan suggested that a Judicial and a Executive branch should be added on to Congress. The Judicial Branch and the Executive Branch includes Congress and the presidential agency respectively.
Roger Sherman came up with a way to let everyone agree on the type of government. “To make things fair, we should make there two houses in Congress.” Roger Sherman spoke out. The senate and the House of Representatives contained an equal amount of representatives and the number of representatives based on states population respectively. In the Great Compromise, 3/5s of slaves would be counted to the states population for representation and taxation.
In conclusion, the first government went poorly, different states shared ideas to help prevent completely failure, and Roger Sherman saved the nation by coming up with a great compromise. The delegates travel back to their home states after Congress had finished the Constitution with a great compromise.
