Health+PSA's

Junior Health Public Service Announcement
 * A public service announcement (PSA) is a non-commercial [|advertisement] broadcast on radio or television, for the [|public interest]. PSAs are intended to modify public attitudes by raising awareness about specific issues. ||

=Project Instructions =
 * 1) Students will get into a minimum group of 3 or a maximum group of 4 (unless approved by me) to develop, design, and create a health related PSA.
 * 2) Each group will be given ample time to brainstorm, research, design, create, and edit their PSA in class.
 * 3) Each group will be responsible for researching an appropriate/approved health related issue.
 * 4) Each group member will collaboratively hand in a Works Consulted and 6 notecards on their topic using the research they gathered as well as include a reflection on their PSA. There should be a minimum of 3 sources on your Works Consulted.
 * 5) Each PSA needs to be a minimum of 1.5 minute with a maximum of 3 minutes long.

 At the end of this project I will be collecting the following articles from each group:

 √ (1) Edited and complete PSA  √ (1) Storyboard  √ (1 per group (with an entry per person)) Noodletools notecards with cited research  √ (1 per group ) a reflection of your completed PSA

** Pre-Approved Topics ** High School Pressures Drinking and Driving Drug Abuse Depression/Suicide Tobacco Harassment Stereotyping/Discrimination Domestic Violence STD's/AIDS Alcohol Abuse Decision making Bullying/Cyber-bullying

 *If your group wants to do something not on this list you need to have my approval before you begin.

Sample website citations:
"The Growth of the Tobacco Trade." //USHistory.org//. Independence Hall Association, 2012. Web. 23 May 2012. <[]>.

This website passes the CRAP test. Currency is not an issue because the article addresses an historic event although the website has been updated this year. The authors are The Independence Hall Association; a well established historical society affiliated with the Independence National Historic Park. This organization has authority as historians dedicated to educating people about American history. They maintain a neutral perspective that is not overly biased toward one point of view.

 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Open iMovie and use the app to take your videos
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Delete any outtakes immediately
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Use the iMovie video editor to complete a rough draft of the movie by dragging the clips in the order you want them to play into the timeline.
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Sign up for a YouTube channel by going to YouTube.com - You can sign in to YouTube with your school email but you will need to create a channel. This will be a personal channel, not one created just for this project. Only one person in the group needs to do this.
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Upload your iMovie video to your YouTube channel by clicking on the box with the arrow
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">When you upload to YouTube be sure to make your movie either "Public" or "Unlisted".

 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Using the tools in the YouTube Editor, you are able to trim clips, add transitions, audio, titles, and credits, as well as on screen text by using the tools on the top left of your screen.

<span style="color: #332895; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Some extra tips on adding audio in the YouTube Editor:

 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">In the Media Picker, click the Audio tab that looks like a music note. You’ll see audio options appear. These audio tracks come from YouTube’s library of pre-approved songs.
 * You can browse the library of tracks by genre and artist, and also by typing a query into the search bar.
 * To preview the listed audio-tracks, hover your mouse over the an audio-track in question and click the 'Play' button. A preview will then play for you.
 * To add an audio track to your clips, click the 'plus' icon (+) on the audio-track. This will add the audio track to the timeline. You can also drag and drop the audio track into the audio section below the timeline.


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">You cannot trim or edit the audio track in Editor. The audio track will stop when the track ends. You also cannot select particular sections of the audio track: the audio will start at the beginning and will be cut-off when the video ends.


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">To delete the audio track entirely, just click the 'X' icon on the audio track in the timeline. You can also replace the audio track by dragging another track from the media picker down to the storyboard. The existing track will immediately be replaced with the new track.


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">The audio from an added track will replace your clips’ original audio by default. To customize the volume at which an audio track plays over your clips, adjust the volume slider to at the far right of the name of the track. You can choose between:
 * Only Music (the default): Plays only the added audio track.
 * Favor Music: Plays the swapped in track most prominently.
 * Equal: Plays original and swapped audio at equal volume.
 * Favor Original Audio Plays the original audio from your clips most prominently.


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">If you try to upload audio that is not in the YouTube library, go to Upload and when you try to add an audio file, instructions will pop up that explain how to convert files or click heremedia type="custom" key="18899028"[[file:Storyboard for PSA.doc]]

__11__ __th__ __Grade iPad PSA Project Objectives__

__Day 1__ - Students will research information for their group’s topic using a variety of valid and credible sources ranging from web-sites, data bases, EBooks and library books. Each person in the group will be responsible for a minimum of one source each.

Students will properly cite their sources using Noodle Tools.

Students will share their note-card information with me through Noodle Tools to my account.

If students do not complete the Noodle Tools citing and note-cards it will be completed as homework by the next class.

(Storyboards can be started during day 1 if citing and note-cards are completed properly)

__Day 2__ - Students will work on Storyboards using the data and information from the entire group’s note-cards and brainstorming scenarios, as well as how they will communicate information during their video; either by digital text, poster-boards/note-cards or speaking, as well as video locations and possible music.

Students will begin filming once the storyboards have been approved.

Students must sign-out an iPad and then sign them back in ten minutes prior to the end of class.

(Video editing may begin during day 2 if video is completed.)

__Day 3__ - Students will either continue to finish videoing and then edit. Day 3 should be mostly editing. Whatever editing is not completed on Day 3 must be completed by the next class period back in the Health room for viewing.

There will be NO extensions to the videos.

__TIPS__ -

The assignment has its own Wiki-Page, so students are encouraged to view the page for suggested web-sites and databases, as well as video editing tutorials and rubric. (We will as a class, go to the Wiki-Page and discuss the assignment prior to our three days in the library. However, it is recommended to continue to view the Wiki-Page, due to the important information that will be helpful to you.)
