Students will research, discuss and understand the historical impact and purpose of Public Service Announcements since the 1940’s. Students are “hired” as graphic designers to work cooperatively with their principal and Summer Enrichment coordinators to design PSA posters to displayed around community to advertise the new program and communicate an important message.

** ACTIONS **


 * Before Class Preparation ** : Due to research time constraints- teacher prepares PowerPoint on history of PSA and project requirements, and Internet PSA Search and Critique Sheet, which is stored on GoogleDocs for further review. Student Exemplars of PSA designs from other service projects are displayed around classroom.

Lesson time- approximately 1 week (5 – 45 minute class periods) 1. Benchmark Lesson on Public Service Announcement using PowerPoint as basis for class discussion. Principal and Summer Program Coordinator are present. Class Brainstorm session using SmartBoard to record ideas and review required information for project think sheet(one 45 minute class). 2. Students work in pairs to review information from previous day and complete project think sheet. (15 minutes). 3. With partner, students research the following website [] [] [] and choose a PSA that they feel is designed well and complete the search and critique sheet to check for understanding of effective design elements. (15 minutes). 4. Partners call up chosen PSA image on SmartBoard and explain their reasons for choosing particular design. (2-3 minutes each). 5. Students produce rough sketches and peer critique with partner before presenting ideas to teacher. (15-30 minutes). 6. Mini-conference with teacher and students proceed with suggestions. (3-5 minutes). 7. Students produce a final 12” x 18” PSA digital poster design using previously learned knowledge of Adobe Photoshop to communicate design and message to the public. (2-3 45-minute class periods) 8. Students fill out exit ticket each day to record progress and ask questions (5 minutes). 9. Students email a flattened jpeg. file to principal for final review and print out final design when collaboration is finished. (5-10 minutes) 10. Final posters are printed out by students and then displayed around town to educate public. 11. Students who finish early work on a collaborative site where these images can be stored and shared with the public to help educate a broader audience.
 * Instructional Activities: **

** MONITOR **
 * Ongoing assessments: ** Completed project think sheet and rubric, search and critique sheet, exit ticket reviews, mini conferences, and teacher observation of ongoing design process utilizing Adobe Photoshop.
 * Accommodations and Extensions ** : Utilize support time to meet with students who need more guidance or extra time due to IEP specifications.
 * Back-Up Plan: ** A book of preprinted PSA poster designs can be utilized if a student has difficulty researching on web. Students can also draw parts of their design by hand to be scanned in by teacher if Adobe Photoshop proves to be too difficult.

** EVALUATION ** Evaluation will be based on project sheet, search and critique sheet, and completed rubric and final printed design. I always like to hang all posters up on gallery wall to have an informal end of project discussion so the class can see all the creative and various ways the same message was conveyed through art. Students can provide positive feedback orally to each other and help boost the confidence of the budding designers. Of course, the feedback from their principal makes them feel great too!
