Students will brainstorm topics of interest related to teens. Once the topic is chosen they will write a script for their public service announcement. Students will choose locations, props, and costumes for the shoot. Once the storyboard has been approved they will begin shooting their commercial with the cameras. The students will then use video editing software to add music and effects. Once the commercial is complete they will take it to the local television station for possible airing. Students will take a field trip to learn about how commercials are made.

Students will learn how to collaborate on projects, while making a moral story come to life. Students will get to let others know what is important to them in a visual format.
Guest speakers from the television station will be asked to come to the school and help advise on the project and see how they are progressing on the commercial.
