In years past, we would all be creating a video about cyberbullying. But our curriculum was updated over the summer and there's two other topics that will fit nicely alongside cyberbullying: digital balance and media manipulation. So once the students were in groups, each group was assigned (randomly selected) one of the three topics.
Regardless of the topic, I provided some questions that the students needed to research to hopefully guide them in a useful direction for the content of their PSAs. This information need to be explicitly referenced in their video, but for some reason, every group is also trying to figure out how to incorporate some sort of bullying into their topic. As long as they also have the required information, it'll be fine.
Since this unit is all about digital media, the PSAs also need to include: video, images, audio from speech, and music. There are many ways this assignment can be completed and I'm excited to see what the students come up with. If they want to score a 4 on the assessment, though, they will need to create something that stands out from the rest of the videos.
