I just wanted to follow up on my last blog regarding Public Service Announcements or PSA's. I just completed my first project last night, and wanted to put it up on my blog. It is longer than I would have liked (1:34 seconds), but would love to hear any input on the video.
My plan is to have my students' create their own PSA's during their Health marking period, and have them post them to my wiki page. I will keep all posted as to how this goes.
The following PSA is on Smoking:

Cath,
I watched the video and was ready to comment when I thought of a better critic. My nine year old, Kyle, is very conscious and vocal about tobacco and drugs. It has been a topic generated from health class, as well as media coverage on sports figures. I asked him to watch the video and give us his thoughts. I realize this may not be your intended target age, but thought it would be interesting. The only editing or prompting was that I asked him to watch it a second time. That is where the P.S. and P.S.S. came in.
I watched the video and this is what I thought;
I thought it was very good the pictures told you to definitely not to smoke. In the beginning I said to myself, “I’m going to listen to the things that we do, running, breathing, playing?” But then it got into these are the things we like to do, and got into the lesson about not to smoke it got better. I thought it was a good video and it told the viewers NOT TO SMOKE.
P.S. I liked when you told the viewers the things the companies don’t care about, that was interesting.
P.S.S. In health class we were doing something on smoking and the teacher said that it takes away 11 minutes of your life every time that you have a cigarette. Oh and if you smoke a packet a day it would cost about $1800 a year!!
Mike,
Thank you so much for your input, and more importantly your nine year old sons' input! This is the first PSA that I have created and I was hoping to get some feedback on it, so I really appreciate you and your son taking the time to watch it and give me feedback. I am looking forward to having my students work on this project during third and fourth marking period. I really think that my students will be able to be really effective and impact oriented.
Thanks again!
Cath
