Extra Credit: Public Service Announcement~Zombie Style
The zombie apocalypse threat is imminent. It is up to you and your group to prepare a Public Service Announcement informing your fellow citizens what to do.
Use your research papers as a basis to form a PSA discussing the steps citizens should take in this emergency situation. Then, film/record this PSA to present to the public (i.e. your class and the world via YouTube)!
Remember: Time is of the essence!
(YOUR PSA should be between :30-2:30)
Consider the following:
- Emergency kit preparedness/Emergency Plan Preparedness
- How can people prepare their homes? Should they evacuate? Where do you tell people to go? Is there a good place in the community for shelter? Will they be protected there?
- What to do when they encounter an infected individual? What is the best way to prevent infection?
Since PSA's are so brief, try to have only one main focus. Cover one topic in depth rather than vaguely covering many.
Make sure to list your endorsers (your sources) during the PSA and at the end of your PSA (as a works Cited).
Choose your partners wisely. You can have tons of people in your video, but only three people receive credit for working on the project.
Project is due for Presentation on Friday, December 13th.
Excellent Student Example:
Actual Public Service Announcements:
ready.gov PSA: Al Roker, The Day Before, Consequences
Stop Texts, Stop Wrecks
