Reflection-
For this project I started by looking at the PSA topic examples on Schiff’s Blog. I searched the topics that interested me on youtube. I looked for PSA’s that were under 2minutes and were good quality. I watched many PSA’s that I didn’t like, but I also watched a lot of PSA’s that I really liked. Some were okay, and others were amazing. After I found a PSA that I liked, in a pages document, I wrote the name of the PSA, a short description on why I liked it, a rank from 1-10 on how good it was, and the run time. I think I did pretty good on this project. It takes lots or patience to find a good PSA. At the beginning I was being a little too picky. After, I realized if the PSA wasn’t amazing, I could just rank it a little lower. All the PSA’s that I picked really inspired me. I really like all PSA’s that I picked. This project wasn’t the most fun, but I really enjoyed watching all the different PSA’s. This project was also very informational and I think it will help me make future PSA’s of my own!
