Discussions of propaganda are great ones to have. Here you can see quite an assortment of World War 2 propaganda. Right now in the UK they are observing remembrance day so a lot of resources are being shared that we can use on this topic. It would be interesting to have students look for modern day propaganda? How about looking at US elections - do we have propaganda there? Just discussing that topic would be interesting.

These are really useful - I use The "End" of Reconstruction in class because Prof. Blight lectures effectively on topics such as the 14th and 15th amendment, Frederick Douglass, precedent setting SC decisions such as Slaughterhouse & Cruikshank.

The Frozen Price Game
