• What is the assignment? • Instead of a typical lecture or a boring power point project, my
students created 2-4 minute public service announcement videos trying to advocate a particular topic.
• How did they create them?• My students picked their partner and their interest group from a list. I
am all about student choice and ownership!
• For homework, they researched their topic. They spent two days in class creating a Google Doc. PowerPoint in which both partners were able to work on a specific part of the project at the same time
• On the third day students created their Animoto video projects by saving their PowerPoint as a JPG and adding effects/music.
