Propaganda Poster for “Animal Farm”
In Victoria Stewart’s propaganda poster, it shows an image of Old Major being slaughtered by a human with a bloody knife and a gash wound. The words “four legs good, two legs bad”, are on the top and bottom of the poster. She used four strategies for her poster including fear, name calling, glittering generalities and common enemy. Her main strategy in this propaganda poster is fear because the first image readers will see is the dead animal with knife. They will be very scared then they will read the motto and realize the must stay away from the heartless humans. The next strategy Victoria used was glittering generalities, the catchphrase is “four legs good, two legs bad”, although this is not a very complex piece of information the message is much larger then is may seem. The message is all animals or things with four legs are good and humans, a two legged creature, is bad and evil. Common enemy is the next strategy used by Victoria, the faceless human is a representation of all humans. The unknown humans are the real animals that then kill for their own survival. Humans are the enemy. The final strategy was name calling, the motto is “four legs good, two legs bad”, which is direct name call to humans because it is saying thing with two legs is bad. It may not be a direct threat but if readers analysis the posters and all the different elements it is all leading back to the nada human who killed an innocent animal.

Khan Academy – Science App Review
Can Khan Academy help users understand how the periodic table is organized?
Yes, Khan Academy has a whole folder sat a side for the periodic table. The videos talk about how the periodic table is separated between metal, nonmetal and metalloids with families and groups. The videos show pictures of the periodic table and uses colours to easily separate the different groups.
Is all the information clear?
The information is very clear and easy understand, the speakers stay on topic and focus on the main topic help users retain information. The speaker puts pictures and draw making it easy to understand and follow along. There are also subtitles making it even easier to following along and take notes.
Can this teach users in an inefficient and fun way?
Yes, Khan Academy teaches users with videos. The videos have a voice and someone drawing or a picture display. This makes it very inefficient to learn not so much fun because you are just watching a video but the videos are very easy to understand and all the information is displayed correctly.
Will Khan Academy take users a short amount to fully understand how to use it? Is it easy to use?
Yes and yes, I spent 10 minutes on the app and I knew where everything was. The app uses scrolling up and down and side to side to navigate through the app and you have to press tabs to look at different topics. This made it very easy to use the app.
Can Khan Academy help someone who knows nothing about chemistry?
Yes, I do believe Khan Academy could teach many people who know nothing about chemistry but those people must already have a basic understanding of science and chemistry. They might not know all the terminology used in each video so it may be difficult to understand.
Is Khan Academy easy to navigate?
Yes, Khan Academy has many folders and subtopics that are neatly organized in specific spots on the app. All the science topics are ender the science folder with multiple subtopics including biology, physics and of course chemistry. The chemistry folder has many subtopics units that have many videos according to the subtopics.
I give Khan Academy 4 out of 5 stars, the app was well designed and had great learning material. I would have liked some review games to test my new knowledge with. The app could help any grade 9 in the chemistry unit.
