Techniques of Propaganda and Persuasion will teach your students the single most valuable skill they can have as readers — critical thinking. As students work through this book, they will learn to question and analyze the logic behind the messages they’re exposed to every day in the form of print, television, and radio advertisements, news media, film, and even in the literature they read in English class.

Techniques of Propanganda and Persuasion can be used on its own to teach critical thinking and sharpen literary analysis skills, or as an addition to a curriculum that emphasizes media studies, public speaking, communications, or persuasive writing. This versatile title can be taught in its entirety, chapter by chapter, or by topics you’d like to cover. It is made curriculum-ready by brief chapters that are easily covered in a class period or as a homework assignment, pertinent discussion questions, and comprehensive, cumulative exercises.

2008 NCTE Conference

We’ve just returned from the annual NCTE conference in San Antonio and wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all of the great teachers we met this weekend. There’s nothing like sitting down with educators for a few minutes to hear what they’re doing in their classroom to get the creative juices flowing, and we definitely got some good ideas of what you’d like us to work on in the upcoming year.

 In addition, we hope it was helpful for those of you who met with us to get a chance to see some of our books first hand. We received hundreds of requests this weekend, and we’ll be busy mailing samples out to you over the next few weeks. If you have any questions, please email us at prestwick@prestwickhouse.com, and we’ll be happy to help you out.
