They had to try to figure out how to convince people to vote for their party based on supplied party platforms. It became clear that the group trying to sell the Weimar Government, the SPD, had a difficult task. This was the government that signed the Treaty of Versailles and governed over Germany during hyperinflation of 1923 and the Great Depression in 1930. While they had a liberal agenda, people suffered from hunger and unemployment under their rule. Communists wanted to help workers, but the Russian Revolution was not far away and the horror stories coming out of Russia were a deterrent. The Catholic Center Party promised moral rule, but did not promise to restore the country to greatness. The Nazis' message to restore Germany to greatness, to undo the harsh conditions of the Treaty of Versailles, and to rebuild pride in the country helped Nazis gain power through elections. Although Hitler was clear in his book, Mein Kampf that he wanted world domination and to eliminate Jews and Communists, people did not take that part seriously.

Students did a great job working in groups. This is an odd project since once done, the work was immediately recycled. While the artistry was terrific, we do not want to have swastikas hanging up in the room, historic context or not. Thus we have a photo record of them here, but they are not on display.]]> 2022-02-17 21:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer155/wjdjauvy86ff9y6s/wish/2054096383 Political Party Platforms Germany 1933 jennifer155 https://padlet.com/jennifer155/wjdjauvy86ff9y6s/wish/2054105673 How did the Nazis gain power in Germany in the 1930s? They were elected. Wednesday and Thursday we examined propaganda techniques. Then students were assigned a political party to promote in the German elections of 1933. ]]> 2022-02-17 21:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer155/wjdjauvy86ff9y6s/wish/2054105673 Hitler glorified youth, as well as himself. jennifer155 https://padlet.com/jennifer155/wjdjauvy86ff9y6s/wish/2054110238 2022-02-17 21:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer155/wjdjauvy86ff9y6s/wish/2054110238 📹Social Democrats could say why people should not vote for the other parties, but they could not promote themselves as well since they'd been in charge during the hardships of 1919-1933. jennifer155 https://padlet.com/jennifer155/wjdjauvy86ff9y6s/wish/2054112414 2022-02-17 21:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer155/wjdjauvy86ff9y6s/wish/2054112414 Propaganda Techniques jennifer155 https://padlet.com/jennifer155/wjdjauvy86ff9y6s/wish/2054114956 What are different techniques in trying to get people to think how you want them to think, vote for your candidate, or buy your product? We did a crash course in different methods of manipulation. Not only did students learn methods they could apply in our poster lesson, they learned how to identify way modern advertisers are manipulating the public. It is always good to be aware of the messages we are being bombarded with on the internet, social media, tv, radio, and even in cafes and bars. We also discussed the unrealistic portrayal that models give of what people should look like. In fact, the models do not even look the way they are shown in adds because they are photoshopped and manipulated. ]]> 2022-02-17 21:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer155/wjdjauvy86ff9y6s/wish/2054114956 Midterm: What have we learned in weeks 1-5? jennifer155 https://padlet.com/jennifer155/wjdjauvy86ff9y6s/wish/2054120205 2022-02-17 21:31:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer155/wjdjauvy86ff9y6s/wish/2054120205 Hyperinflation in Germany in 1923 jennifer155 https://padlet.com/jennifer155/wjdjauvy86ff9y6s/wish/2054121524 2022-02-17 21:32:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer155/wjdjauvy86ff9y6s/wish/2054121524 Short Documentary on Hyperinflation jennifer155 https://padlet.com/jennifer155/wjdjauvy86ff9y6s/wish/2054122263 2022-02-17 21:33:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer155/wjdjauvy86ff9y6s/wish/2054122263 Last Test Question: Comments, feedback, compliments, complaints? jennifer155 https://padlet.com/jennifer155/wjdjauvy86ff9y6s/wish/2055710504 -I like when we do role plays and other activities that make learning fun.
