<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Create a one-minute PSA (public service announcement) video. This can be created with Photostory, Imovie, Moviemaker or any video program of your choice. The purpose and audience of the video is the same as the presentation, but should be a highly engaging commercial that highlights the significant ideas found through your research.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">This should be something that could be aired on the school announcements and should:


 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Grab attention (audio, visual impact)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Inform about your topic by highlighting important information in a creative manner (why should they care?)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Motivate your audience to a **specific** action (what can they do about it?)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Be ONE MINUTE IN LENGTH.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Make sure to think carefully about your images, music and text and the "story" they tell together. How can you tap into your audience Emotion? What will you make them FEEL (Pathos)? and Reason? What will you make them THINK (Logos)?
