3. PSA Work 1. Determine your PSA topic 2. Determine PSA: ◦Purpose -(increase awareness, public to take action, etc.) ◦Target Audience-(K-12 students, high school students, middle-high school students, general public, etc.) ◦Techniques/Appeals you want to include- (Ethos, Logos, Pathos, Emotional appeal, Testimonial, Bandwagon, etc.) 3. Begin Research ◦All members will research their group’s chosen topic. 4. Plan your PSA ◦Using the storyboard graphic organizer- member #1 will write in box 1. Pass the graphic organizer to member #2 to write in box #2 and so forth. 5. Create PSA Once you have completed the graphic organizer, create your PSA using Power Point. You may add pictures, charts, video, music, etc. After your PSA is complete, using the same method as you did to complete your storyboard, your group should come up with a justification about your PSA. The justification should be a paragraph about why the content of your PSA is important, how is it relevant, and how you used the persuasive appeals.
