My Public Service Announcement (Summative Assessment)

by 084375 on May 3, 2012

Hello followers of my blog,

In class we are making a PSA. A PSA is a Public Service Announcement. PSAs inform people of things happening in the world. We have to make a PSA because it is our summative task. We have to make this PSA to inform people of children’s rights. We made PSAs to encourage people to take action and help people in need. We also made it to inform people about the subject. We made for many other reasons too such as learning how to use iMovie and all the iApps. If you are interested in iApps, click here to view my post about them.My PSA is based on Article #28, “Children Have The Right To Proper Education”.

Our current Unit of Inquiry is about children’s rights and how children around the world are treated. The central idea of this unit is “Actions can support or deny access to children’s rights and opportunities.” Something important that I have learned in this unit is that many children and adults in the world don’t have access to everything they deserve such as safe drinking water. I was really amazed in how many people don’t have the rights that they should have. Some questions that I have about this unit is how can we really help?

This really shows that I understand this unit and what I have done.

- Actions: I have created a PSA so people that have access to YouTube will be informed of this subject and I hope they will “TAKE ACTION!!”

- Responsibility: I have been responsible by “TAKING ACTION”, I have donated money to UNICEF, donated hundreds of books that I don’t need any more and I have also been learning about this subject.

- Causation: I have been looking at the causes of why different things have been happening so that not everyone has the right that the should have.

I just finished my PSA today and I am really proud of my work because I think I’ve done well and put in a lot of effort into making it. This is the final version of my PSA. Please comment to tell me what you think about it. I hope I get more viewers and likes!

Dynamo 5,

This post shows your solid understanding and growth throughout this unit of inquiry. By reading your answers to the questions posed, I can tell that you have reflected carefully on your thoughts and considered the best way to present your ideas. Well done.

It is obvious that you understand the purpose of a public service announcement and I think both your style and your design elements really demonstrate this understanding. I also think your message is really well presented. You’ve shown solid creating and editing skills using technology! There is some variation with the volume and the sound levels that could be readjusted for the audience’s viewing pleasure.

Overall, your final psa project and your reflection both meet the expectations of this summative task. You can be very proud of this work and the effort that you have invested within it. Your understanding of this unit of inquiry, plus expertise with technology, individuality and creativity matched your work to the task’s expectations. Outstanding work!
