  1. This video does a good job of getting its meaning across. The only problem with the video was that it did not use enough facts to get its point across. It was just showing and not enough backing up evidence.

  2. In the category of evidence I think the writer approaches the target. There is not alot of statistics but has a good and clear example of a family struggling to get water. I believe that next time they should use more statistics because they only used one.

  3. This PSA has a clear stand but not a specific location its based on. It is extremely clear audience. The message is fully developed and responds to the prompt while Ideas are clearly developed to support the message.

  4. This water shortage PSA exceeds in many aspects of the rubric section of focus.In addition, the message is fully developed and represented though not presented until the end. One thing that this PSA can improve on is that it isn't a local topic or something specific it's more of a general and worldwide issue.

  5. This PSA is approaching evidence and explanation. The writer only uses piece of specific relevant evidence. The quote does defend the public service announcement but it has too little evidence.

  6. The water shortage PSA meets expectations in Author's Craft: Elements of Persuasion. The PSA includes persuasion using pathos to create emotions for the audience by asking if they want to be part of the solution by giving the call-to-action and giving them a site to start donations that go towards the process of cleaning water. The author also puts the audience into the character's positions by telling us to imagine drinking dirty water like the people in the PSA were. The PSA is convincing, but it is missing a little more persuasion to get people to start donating some money!

  7. This PSA receives a between Meets and Approaches on the rubric's category Focus. It does have a local and specific issue that they focus on, but the only set back is that this PSA gives the audience only 2 pieces of evidence. The message is clear, as soon as you get to the ending; but the beginning of it doesn't start out with a clear purpose. But, the idea is thought out well; the way they showed the message in the end was a done well to show how people all over the world don't have access to clean water.

  8. The author of this Public Service Announcement has a clear beginning, middle and end as it clearly demonstrates the topic throughout the entire PSA. The author does a really good job engaging us with a hook by using a weird event happening in New York City and the music demonstrates that something is happening and it makes the audience want to continue watching the PSA.

  9. I think that the focus of this public service announcement is about between approaching and meeting the the rubrics standereds it didint score high because it didnt use a local topic, the message, i belive is fully developed but it dosent have any ideas that support it.

  10. The water shortage PSA has a good structure and organization. The message is shown clearly in the PSA they want to help people get more healthy and clean water. The end of the PSA was good because it has a call to action. The author put a website where people can help solve this problem. I would give this PSA a 3/4 in structure and organization.

  11. In this PSA, I think that they are approaching, the evidence and explanation part of the PSA. I think that they are approaching this part of the PSA because they only had one piece of evidence, the evidence was specific and was relevent to the PSA however they didn't used enought evidence and this is why I think that they are only approaching in this specific part of the PSA.

  12. This PSA approaches mastery. they dont have relevant and specific evidence to support the argument. They have a good fact but is only one and it does not convince a lot of people

  13. The water storage PSA exceeds expectation in the Structure and Organization. The director includes a clear beginning, middle, and end that develops a well-focused message. It also engages the audience with a hook which is the background music and when the adult along with the child go down the steps with the gallon. They also develop a PSA with well-timed text and media evidence and concludes the PSA with a clear and relevant call to action including both a number and an online website. The PSA was 60-90 seconds long, and I was engaged during the whole time as well as the other students in my class. -Arlene Salcedo ♥.

  14. The PSA presented does not show a lot of writing. The quality is okay but it has room for improvement. The PSA can improve by added various sources. These sources are meant to emotionally appeal to the audience, for instance an example of a family can be shown and everything they must go through in order to get this water. They can also add facts about what would happen to our human bodies and our health if we were the ones who drank the dirty water daily. While the PSA does use some persuasive parts when talking about the billions of people that have to drink this water, more statistics could have also been added. Where does drinking of this dirty water happen?

  15. This PSA meets and takes a stand on a local and specific issue related to health in NYC. The message is not clear until the last few seconds of the PSA. Few evidence is used to support ideas.

  16. I think this PSA is approaching, in elements and persuasion because even though the creator used some techniques of persuasion, it could have been a lot stronger and convincing to the viewing audience. The creator of this PSA used ethos, to show emotions in the characters. For example, the mother of the children looked unhappy because her family had to drink dirty water, also the children didn’t look happy either. Overall I think this PSA is good, approaches the target of elements and persuasion.

  17. The author of this PSA get a "approaches target" on element of persuasion because the author had did a nice job on doing an emotional appeal. Somethings the author can do is that adding more fact up to at least five more. Also The person can add some ethos.

  18. The crater of this PSA does a good job showing how people are harming the world and how they can help out. When it comes to the explanation and the evidence, it is in the approaching zone because there could have been more evidence included so that the people have a better idea and agree with what he is trying it prove

  19. The water shortage PSA deserves between a exceeding and a Meets the expectation in Structure and Organization. I believe the PSA meets the topic because in the beginning it leaves the audience wondering on what the PSA is going to be about. However, the mystery on what the PSA is going to be about gives you a hook towards the PSA because you would like to know what are those gallons for and how does it relate to the PSA. The message in the beginning of the PSA is very blurry but, as the PSA goes on the structure becomes less of a blur.

  20. I would give this PSA in evidence and explanation a 2 because it didn't really give me a lot of information about where does this conflict happens , and more evidence about what this type of water does to you.

  21. The writer only uses about 3 pieces of evidence and barely tells any facts. It should express more his/hers opinion and use more facts. This means that this water storage PSA initiates its expectations in enivdence and explenation.

  22. The water storage psa initiates expectations in evidence and explanation. The video didn't include 6 or more evidence, they only used 1 evidence. The director should of add more evidence and add examples. Finally the psa doesn't explain the cause of the dirty water but it did add the effect. This psa need relevant, specific, and accurate evidence to support his/ hers evidence.

  23. This PSA has good structure and is well organized, and it looks like it could really be a real commercial. This actually happens everyday in other foreign country's around the world

    ReplyDelete
  24. The water shortage PSA meets in Author's Craft because it uses pathos when showing people going to Central Park to go get water. Also, it uses logos when it says that one billion people around the world drink water like that. It doesn't exceed because it doesn't use ethos so it has no credibility.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I would give this PSA a 2 because it does not really give any facts but instead actions which is really good but barely make the reader understand whats going on . Also , this deserves a 2 because even though they do what the video is about , they should also make the video even longer .

  26. The Author of this video didn't have information that include Local issue in Washington Heights but do show a message so I recall it get a 2

  27. The clean water PSA meets elements in persuation as far as pathos are concerned. it uses pathos to see if people would like to be a part of getting clean water by visiting a website that is given at the end of the PSA. the creator of this PSA also makes us feel as we were part of the film by saying imagine drinking that water, in other words, being the people in the film drinking the water. to make this PSA better, the author should include a person speaking about drinking this dirty water so that the audience could be a little more convince to donating money..

  28. The water PSA aproaches expextations in focus and taking a clear stand. This is very important because the audiance clearly doesn't know what is going on in the beginning untile the end where the message and websites come out.

  29. This video is local and specific. It doesn’t stand up to Washington Heights though. It explains it’s point saying you might as well drink water from the pond. Message is fully develop and effectively respond to the prompt.

    2. though this PSA only has 3 evidence it sends a very clear messege. this person is approaching the requirements for structure and organization with a good begining, middle and end. this PSA can improve on having more fatcs and a call in action. also just to point out something, here it shows how poor are the people and also the condition they are in, and my quetion is why does it shows that they have a laptop and more fancy stuff but not water? i also think that it would be better if it shw
      owed how the people can get cleaner water and from where.

  30. This writer is approaching the requirements for structure and organization because although it has a clear beginning , middle , & ending and also has media evidence , and kept me engaged the entire PSA the message isn't clear this is my opinion because it states that they have no clear water but if this is true then why would they have a laptop and house ?

  31. The water shortage PSA deserves a exceeding mastary in Authors craft: elements of persuasion. I think that the PSA has very convincing evidences for example when she was poring the water to the cup it was very convincing that the water was not clean at all. the PSA uses logos as an example the words they use and call for action,they also use pathos to show they took a stand.

  33. The water storage PSA has a good structure and it has a lot of persuasive writing techniques to convey meaning. Also this PSA has a good structure of using the persuasive writing technique(Pathos) because the soundtrack that is played in this PSA feels and also sounds dramatic.

  34. this actually makes me feel kinda worried of the enviroment. Though this does have bad evidence

  35. This water PSA is approaching in evidence and explanation because there is only one fact and isnt clear for the audiece. The message was a bit unclear not only that but its also shown at the end which can keep the audience a bit confused.

    ReplyDelete
  36. This video shows a good start because the way how they all show that they all leaving their homes and then actually going to the pond in Central Park and then returning back home with the container with water and then when they are going to drink it they notice that the water was dirty and the waywe have to worry about the water being clean.

  37. This PSA Approaches the characteristic of Evidence and Explanation, it includes some variety of evidence at the end of the video.

  38. this video exceeds of taking a clear stand and focus of a local and specific issue on the health in Washington Heights and targets the audience.It shows the water in our environment that it well turn dirty if we don't take care of it and we well end up drinking dirty water.

  40. The water shortage PSA initials from having one of evidence show what happens if you don't save water.There is only one explanation of the people going to a place to try clean the water from other things. It shows that the evidence is accurate but only has one piece of evidence.

  41. This PSA excels at making a clear focus and giving evidence on how there is a issue in water in our environment

  42. I think that this psa is good to start because alot of people should know that the water in specific places have dirty toxic water that you cant drink it only has 2 facts so thats like a 1 or 2 other than that i think this is good :}

    ReplyDelete
  43. I think that this PSA meets standers based on the rubric. i think this because it only shows about 3-4 facts but the facts aren't that relevant. Also the facts are not that clear to the audience until the very end. Finally the topic is a much more worldwide topic instead of LOCAL!

  44. This psa shows how people in need are being affected by are action and what we have to do to help them also it shows that the water know adays is not clean from the river.

  45. The video exceeds because it focuses on only one audience.It focuses on the people that need clean water and uses a fact on how may people are in need to this. The video shows the people taking dirty water from the river and a women giving her kids this water.-Fernando Gomez

  46. this video is a good start and it shows us the ones that have privelege of access to clean water should appreciate and only use the water needed so we can keep on having this.

  47. Brian Concepcion –
    This PSA is a level 4 (exceeds) in taking a clear stand because it takes a clear stand on a specific and local issue relating to health in Washington Heights. It is very clear to the audience and the messege is fully developed.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I think that this needed a little bit more facts about how we can all try and stop letting people drink dirty water. I give this a low , but a high 2.

    ReplyDelete
  49. This PSA is a level 4 because the message is clear and without a message the video would have no meaning. The video is trying to say that if we don't clean the water our daily life would end up like them.

    ReplyDelete
  50. This is a level 4 because in the end i fanilly got the message that the water is dirty and is bad for you and if we dont take of are water is going to end up like that in the future.

  51. This PSA exceeds because it focuses on the main topic and catches the audience attention at the end of video which caused me to worry about my health and everyone else. The topic is very clear to understand since a explanation was added at the end. Also the creator added in to who to contact in order for everyone to get more information or to help out.

  52. this psa did take a clear stand and it is related to health in Washington heights and is aware of target audience.

  53. The PSA is in between meeting and exceeding for focus. The PSA has a clear stand and the idea is fully developed, however it was not talking about a specific location. The PSA is related to health and clearly developed to support the message. - Kathy Tavarez, 9LE

  55. This PSA sends a clear message. It does not show a specific location although it shows parts of specific places. This PSA was good but it did not have enough evidence to recive a good grade. Other than that, it is very thoughtful.

  56. Well, I think this PSA does show some creativity. Although it does do a great job at showing great meaning, I think what is a weak spot in this is that is contains no type of evidence or statistics. I think a positive aspect of this is the pursuation that it implys and portrays through the people of a community. This PSA really does show great meaning but statistics would boast up the peoples attention.- jasmine diaz

  57. this PSA is in level 4 because it catch people attention wich is very important because people trying to think about was happening and what they trying to do.also i give level 4 because is very organize and they good evedence that catch people attention.

  58. This PSA was good Artistic Presentation / Film elements because they used yellow containers to get the peoples attention and they showed people exactly what happens if you do don’t have clean water.

  59. I would give this writer a 2 because it doesnt have enough information or facts.They only had 1 piece of evidence to support their arguement.I know the meaning this person is trying to say about safing water but needs more evidence that helps this PSA inprove to a 4 for mastery.
