PSA • Pitch your top 3 PSA topics to a small group of 3 to 4 students – Discuss the pros and cons of each topic and the challenges that could arise in each script – Decide on a length of 30 or 60 seconds – Create your PSA

Portfolio • Once you have finished creating your PSA, begin sketching a plan for your PSA – What platform will you use? – What projects will you use? – What will be your opener/ opening page? – How will viewers navigate through your portfolio? • Compare your sketch with a partner, what are your missing, or what do you have too much of?

Portfolio • When your portfolio is finished, present it to the class as if you were presenting it to an employer
