Public Service Announcement

Posted in on 22.12.09

Due: Jan. 19th

Create a Public Service Announcement that might appear as a television commercial. The advertisement / commercial must exhibit 2 appeals: ethos, pathos, and/or logos.  Videos should be 30 seconds to 1 minute. (Yes, I will time them.)  You may work alone, with a partner, or in a group of 3. All group members must be within your own class unless you have permission from me.  Note: you may include other people in your video.

I would prefer that you make a video, but if no one in your group knows how or if you do not have the proper equipment, you may make a PowerPoint, include narration or music, and set it to run automatically. This will take the place of a video.  (See examples.)  We will watch all videos in class.

For safety reasons, you must have your parents’ permission for all filming.
