  1. Your goal is to produce a dynamic 60-second radio or 3 minute video Public Service Announcement (PSA) on a water-related issue. Determine who your audience will be and create your message for that audience. Create a compelling and passionate message. The message must connect with the listener, transform the listener, and win the commitment of the listener.
  2. The final product must be an mp3 with 96kbps or a video file appropriate for school use.
  3. Use PSARubric.doc for details and expectations.
  4. The PSA will be assessed using PSARubric.doc
  5. The team with the most points at the end wins the event.
  6. Whenever you need help, check with your superior before asking the Professor (the teacher) to teach you what to do. When the professor is called upon to teach, 1 point is deducted from the team score as payment to the Professor.
  7. You have five minutes for planning and setting up year team to start the activity. Once the exercise begins, you must strictly adhere to your role (the success of the exercise depends on that adherence).

Good Luck and Good Health to you all! Remember to hydrate with good water.
