In Julius Caesar, propaganda or rhetoric was frequently used to persuade the people of Rome to agree with others' ideas and decisions. Today, we see rhetoric everywhere-in newspapers and magazines, in every commercial we see on T. V. or
hear on radio. Everyone is constantly persuading others to think a certain way, buy a product they simply can't live
without, or take action to correct some wrong.
In Julius Caesar Brutus, Cassius, Portia, and Antony all use the art of persuasion in their speeches throughout the play.
Some are successful; some are not. It is your turn to use the same persuasive techniques and persuade an audience
whether either Brutus or Cassius is a traitor or a patriot. This project is in two parts. BOTH must be completed.
Directions: Part 1: Create a propaganda poster based on a character of focus in the play, Brutus or Cassius. Your poster
MUST have an understandable visual message that connects to the play and persuades the viewer that the character is
a betrayer or a patriot. You need to use at least ONE of the propaganda or rhetoric techniques that have been discussed
in the learning platform such as: Name-Calling; Glittering Generalities; Transfer and Testimonial; Special Appeals (Plain
Folks, Bandwagon, Fear), Faulty Logic; or Unwarranted Extrapolation.
Part 1: Design your propaganda poster based on your chosen topic. It should include related images (hand drawn or
digital) and a slogan/headline. You must be able to support your selection of images and slogan with evidence from the
texts and videos we have discussed in class. (Tip: Look at other propaganda posters for inspiration).
