This is Part II of III in a civics and computer science series on bias, propaganda and symbolism.  In this lesson, students will be shown primary source political ads (both print and video) and will evaluate them for bias, symbolism, and propaganda.  The students will then be asked to research past political ads themselves and find two examples of each (bias, symbolism, and propaganda).
