Taking a Stand PSA (Public Service Announcement)
What? What do you care about? What concerns do you have? On behalf of what issue are you willing to raise your voice? You are the director of an ad campaign to bring awareness to health concerns in Washington Heights. Your job is to better your community by bringing attention to an issue that you care about.
Create a Public Service Announcement (PSA) to bring awareness of to a local and specific issue of your choice. As the director of your PSA, you will use research, use persuasive devices, and use film techniques to communicate a focused message. The PSA will focus on two things: 1) how you feel about the issue, and 2) call to action à what we want an individual, group, or organization to do about the issue.
Think on a small, personal scale. Address an issue within the WHEELS school community, Washington Heights community, or greater New York.
Why? “It takes a great deal of courage to stand alone,” said Juror 9 in Twelve Angry Men (63). Through our study of the drama, we have discussed how challenging, yet important it is to stand up for what we believe in. We will use our persuasive writing skills to communicate our opinions and have others listen to our concerns.
Who? Your PSA will be posted on a WHEELS Web Channel or blog. Your PSA will be sent the individual, group, or organization that is relevant to your issue. We will be actually publishing these, so make sure you give your best effort to represent yourself and the WHEELS community!
Where? This project will be accomplished through classwork and homework. That means it is even more important for you to bring yourself and this project, on time, every day we have English!
The PSA are very nice and they teach us how to make our better.

DeleteI agree with marisol. the PSA of HIV really convinced me and the audience because at first I didnt know why the match kept turning the candle on and off until I found out at the end that it meant the amount of HIV victims. This PSA really helped me because now i know that the video left the big surprise for last.
