Advanced 11 Classes
Josh Cavan’s Advanced 11 classes created Public Service Announcements (PSA) for issues affecting students and families in NWI. The project consisted of groups selecting and researching their own topics, writing scripts, storyboarding, and ultimately filming and editing a two-minute PSA. Topics included Childhood Hunger, Teen Suicide, Animal Abuse, Bullying, Infant Mortality, Drinking and Driving, Domestic Violence, Texting and Driving, and Depression. The focus of the assignment was the proper and effective use of various rhetorical strategies. Fun was had by all.
