Today, we will be watching the ISpeaks you have created. Our next project will be a Public Service Announcement (PSA). I will give you more details and links for that tomorrow.

New Project- Public Service Announcements
Specifications for Public Service Announcements:
- may work in groups (3-4 people, tops) but you will have to share any prizes won
- length of video will depend on the contest being entered (see web sites below)
- All PSAs are due on Friday, December 4th- NO EXCEPTIONS!

OK- Two very cool Public Service Announcement contests that I've got for us to work on.
The first is the World Food Program Contest at:

The second is the "It's Global" project through the University of Minnesota at:

Please get into your groups and decide how you are going to proceed with the PSA assignment. You will be getting a "Digital Storyboard" worksheet that will need to be filled out and handed in by the end of the day on THURSDAY. Please take today and tomorrow to generate ideas, look at contest winners from the past, look at entries already submitted at World Food Program, and decide how you will accomplish what you are setting out to do. Remember- BEST DIGITAL QUALITY!
