 * WHY CREATE A PSA OR DIGITAL STORY?**
 * As writers, we write to be read. It is important that we share our ideas with each other and within our community. Creating a PSA or DS will help you to critically analyze your topic and infer what audiences know, need to know, and need to do about the topic. It is an important concept in persuasive writing to set an audience into action. In creating your PSA/DS, you will have a unique opportunity to set your peers into action.**


 * WHERE WILL MY WORK BE SEEN?**
 * This website will be shared with other teachers and students. Science, social studies, and health educators will use your PSA/DS in their classroom as a discussion generator, journal prompt, or unit overview. This material will also be used in my future classes as example work for this project.**

Students should use iMovie, iPhoto, and Soundzabound to create a PSA or DS on their topic.

What is worth fighting for? What influence can a PSA have on its designated audience? What do you want your audience to understand? What do you want your audience to do? (persuade them to do so!)
 * Essential Questions:**
