Advertisements and Propaganda Text Set 

Read Me: A Century of Classic American Book Advertisements (Hardcover)

~ Dwight Garner (Author)

In his introduction, Garner explains the changing styles of book advertising; explores the integration of literature and the world of advertising, in which many writers—including Don DeLillo, Salman Rushdie, and James Patterson—worked before publishing their first books; and makes a convincing case that these vintage ads are important and lasting literary documents.  Helps students' visualize how advertisement has changed throughout the years to adapt to new generations.

Familyfun Home: 200 Creative Projects & Practical Tips To Make Your Home Truly Family-Friendly by Deanna F. Cook and Experts At FamilyFun Magazine

The Wave by Todd Strasser and William Dufris

I used this as my class read aloud book to discuss how propaganda and persuasion of peer groups can change people's attitudes about cliques.  This in an awesome nonfiction book about how a teacher taught his history class a life lesson about how one person's actions can change the attitude of an entire group.  This was an experiment the teacher created after having taught a lesson on the holocaust and how Hitler grew from being a troubled person to a dictator of a nation.
