Strategies: Most important strategy is evaluating. Students need to judge the message. They need to consider certain questions such as:
 * Is there an intellectual appeal? a character appeal? an emotional appeal?
 * Are propoganda devices being used?
 * Are deceptive words or inflated language used?
 * What's the speakers purpose?

Teaching Critical Listening: Similar to those of aesthetic and efferent listening strategies. Students examine propaganda and persuasive language.
 * Make sure to assess students' critical learning*
