My PSA is about why digital media literacy in relation to campaign ads should be taught in schools. My PSA is directed at teachers to encourage them that this is a skill that should be taught, especially as election season approaches. I've attempted to use loaded language and glittering generalities. There are also some emotional appeals in place as well.
Your PSA is very different from others I have seen. In a good way! Your PSA is full of irony, which I like. I think using persuasion techniques to inform teachers about persuasion in campaign ads brings an element of humor. The song "This Land is Your Land" will add an extra punch of patriotism, which is excellent since you're talking about an issue that is so central to American politics. Using the image of Will Ferrell holding an eagle and Zach Galifinakis cuddling puppies is hilarious, and also a brilliant way to draw in those people who may not care as much about voting for political candidates, but are interested in pop culture and entertainment. I also like that you used the popular image of Uncle Sam saying "I Want You" to let teachers know that it's up to them to educate their students on the importance of critical media literacy. I'm excited to see your finished product!
ReplyDeleteI love your use of persuasion techniques, and I think your PSA is very logically laid out. Your PSA is full of humor and irony, and I think it is going to make an awesome presentation.
