Recognizing Propaganda: Then and Now — A Printable Teacher Resource
teachjewishhistory.org/handout-recognizing-propaganda - A printable teacher resource on how propaganda works, built from the history of antisemitism: the small set of very old myths that keeps returning in new costumes, down to today's edited clips and "just asking questions" posts. Students learn to see the structure underneath a claim, then practice three habits for testing any claim against sources. The resource names the standards it supports, including NYS Global History 10.10, US History 11.10, and C3 framework codes, and pairs with Teach Jewish History, the free online textbook where every chapter is built from primary sources. Works in social studies, media-literacy, and ELA units. Free, with no logins and no ads.
