Public service announcements (PSAs) educate citizens about issues that are timely and relevant to their daily lives. Through the collaboration of classroom teachers and PAA's artist-educators, students will conceive, plan, and produce their own PSAs in the form of short video projects. Each PSA will include a short but strong message on a curriculum-related topic. By the end of the project, students will understand the concept of conveying a powerful message to a general audience through media. Each classroom will write and produce five two-minute video PSAs that will be created to teach other students and community members about socially relevant topics.
