Monday 7 February Public Service Project

Reminder: Your 90 second public service announcement is due to your group partners today for their editing. Editors: look over the writing carefully. Is there 90 seconds worth of speaking material? Grammar? Style? Punctuation? Check it over and be prepared to turn in a final, printed-out copy for me tomorrow. If you are working independently, and would like me to read over your 90 second announcement, I need it by the end of class today. Send me a copy, so I can edit it on line and get it back to you by tomorrow.

Clarification- again. Next Monday- 14 February- presentations begin. At the beginning of class, you should turn in the following: Your PSA, your promotional event information, which should include: what, where, when, how much and contacts. The what, where, when should be part of your press release. This may be put on the top of this sheet. In addition, you will have two promotional items (one if you are working by yourself): brochure, poster, clothing design, tchotchkes, etc. Finally, you should have prepared the presentation of your public service announcement. This may be a very-well read live event, accompanied by your poster or perhaps background material shown on the smart board. This may be recorded ahead and simply shown. Filming is not a substitution for the 90 seconds of written material.

Finally, please see the rubrics below for the oral and written components of this project. Measure yourself by these. To follow: art project rubric.
