Crucible+PSA

** Digital Storytelling format **
 * Public Service Announcement in **


 * __Directions__ **: For this project you will pick a topic (from the list on // The Crucible // Project Page) you feel strongly about and create a ** 1-1 ½ minute ** public service announcement telling people about this topic. You need to decide if this is going to be a PSA for radio or TV. Go to the link below to see the different steps you need to take to write, organize and then create your PSA. A script approval is required of both mediums.

If you chose to do the TV PSA you do ** NOT ** need a digital movie camera to do this project. With the different software at school you can do this project with still pictures. However you can use a flip camera or another digital type recording devise for this project. Also remember you have to connect the play and your topic for this!

__Steps:__ I Choose a point from your topic to focus on II Brainstorm III Check and get your facts…you need to have a reference page with all the information you get from the internet. IV Identify your audience. V Identify a “hook”

If you chose to do this project I can show you how to use the movie maker software on the computers.
 * Requirements **: pictures, recent statistics, some kind of narration, music, and a works cited page for any of the music, pictures, quotes etc.
