  1. Hi Joseph! I am not sure if your formatting did not translate over when you cut and paste. I know this happens a lot especially when we post to Sakai. Anyways, your lesson is very poignant and thoguht-provoking. For the finished script and storyboard that students need to complete what criteria would you be looking for? This subject will encourage a lot of discussion. Great job!

  2. Due to the fact that the PSA, script, and storyboard part of this unit is based on the work of the students on their webquest, they will be evaluated by a rubric.

  3. I really like the fact that you have a media component. It would mean very little to students if this project was not 'where they live.' And the media and PSA makes it fun and relevant to kids. Great ideas and solid plan.

  4. What an amazing idea to have your students create a PSA! I love that. You list "human emotion and empathy" as an evaluative criteria--just wondering how that will be measured? Overall, this is a well-thought-out lesson with a fun culminating project that students will remember for years to come.
