Your Final Animaker Project

PSA For Middle School

Here is the process:

Decide on what you topic want to educate you audience about during your presentation/PSA.

It needs to be a topic that is relevant to a middle school audience and is helpful, a Public Service Announcement.

Below are some ideas, you can PROPOSE something new, but you have to run your choice by me first for APPROVAL before you begin:

You will need to have THREE TOPICS/FACTS that you will educate your audience during you presentation, like the example on Dental Hygiene. So do some research and have the THREE FACTS/TOPICS you would like to cover and put them in your email to me.... this will increase your chances of approval :)

YOU MUST EMAIL ME THE TOPIC YOU WOULD LIKE - AND I HAVE TO APPROVE BEFORE YOU START

(I don't want to have 10 of the same topics, so will be spreading them out)

Possible PSA topics:

*Dealing With Stress in school

*Managing Being Overwhelmed By Social Media

*Time Management (school, sports, hobbies etc..)

* Plagiarism (cheating in school)

*Anti Vaping PSA

*Being Organized With School Work

New For 2020

* Strategies For Being Successful During Remote Learning (new for 2020)

* How To Stay Social&Safe With Friends During Covid19 (new for 2020)

*Technology Tips For Remote Learning (new for 2020)

*Your new and creative idea?????

Project Requirements

1. Be CREATIVE, but you must include at least

THREE FACTS from your research. (yes...you will need to do some research!!)

You may be asked to prove where your facts were sourced.

2. Not too much text/writing - just bullet points. (see voice over below)

3. Your PSA must be at least 30 seconds, but no longer than 1 minute

(assume it might air on HPTV)

4. Include cool music and some sound effects where appropriate

5. You can use a Voice Over, which makes thing a lot easier

(but you need to record that outside of class, at home etc..)

6. You need to incorporate (use) at least FOUR of the SIX skills/effects you learned in Animaker (see challenges list above)... so you will need to plan ahead.

Note: You can use an Infographic Chart OR a map, depending on what

makes more sense for your topic.

Have Fun!!!

How To Upload External Images To Support Your PSA Topic

Chances are that Animaker will not have all the image you need to

address your topic, but you can upload external images as well.

Look for images with "transparent" backgrounds so as not to clash with

you colorful backgrounds in Animaker. Here is how you do it:

1. Search Google Images: Add "png" to your search and select "transparent" under

tools option in colors:

Sample PSA Video

(this animated PSA on dental hygiene is a good example of having three facts, a call to action, and about the right length)

Reviewing The Amazing PSA's

After watching the PSA's (allow about 30 minutes reviewing time)

Create A Google Slide

Pick FOUR PSA's and provide the following.

One slide per each PSA (so 4 slides)

1. Name of the PSA

2. Creator Name

3. A Screen shot (use Control-Command-Shift-4, then just Command-V paste in slide)

4. A Link to the PSA (click the "share" option and copy-link)
