First, I show students winning PSAs on www.youtube.com/towerofyouth (a student film contest).
They use critical thinking in groups to brainstorm why the PSA was effective or not.
Students go to www.quotationspage.com and research a quote or topic they feel is important.
Students have come up with this ongoing list of topics that are important to them:
Topics:
Recycling on campus and at home
Using "green" technologies
Wear your seatbelt.
Donate blood.
Common courtesy goes a long way.
Manners (on a date, eating)
Date Rape
Anti-drug (can be general or specific)
Anti-drinking
Anti-smoking
DUI > Cheating
Cellphones
mp3 players
Fighting (working out differences)
hazing
words can hurt
random acts of kindness
Eating healthy
obesity
eating disorders
abuse in a relationship (verbal, emotional, physical)
read instead of watching TV or playing video games
tutoring/helping students academically
water conservation
tolerance
online predators
voting
flu season, not getting sick
illegal downloading
save the whales (insert endangered specie here)
stay in school (dropouts)
speeding
carpooling, saving gas, ride a bike
Once a topic is chosen, a storyboard must be completed.
Students learn film composition, editing, and audio skills with this project!
We then submit them to the festivals and play them for our school. Constructive criticism will help these budding filmmakers grow. |

This can mesh with any subject. Awareness is the goal, so the PSA format works well. |
