A famous movie producer has asked a student team to create public service announcements (PSAs) about energy saving tips that will air during Earth Week. The document provides examples of real PSAs and outlines a schedule for students to develop their own PSAs in small groups, with scripts due after spring testing and filming/editing to follow. It assigns students to groups and gives each group a topic to create a 30-second PSA about to raise awareness of energy savings tips quickly and creatively.
