Exploring some PSAs

I am sorry that I cannot be with you today. While I am going you are going to watch some examples of PSAs and advertisements whose goals are to promote something of value to society. This will be your goal with your group.

I expect you to be respectful to each other and to the person who is here today in my place. Make sure you thank them for being there.

The Plan:

1. Read until 10:05am! (Remember that there are people in the room who appreciate that time to settle and read, and you need to be respectful of that.)
2. Open this Google Form. You'll need it for most of the class period. If you're absent, you can still do this at home (and you are expected to).
3. Together, you're all going to watch four videos. After each video, you will have an opportunity to do some writing on the Google Form. You will take that opportunity.
4. Then, AND ONLY THEN, you will pick up your computers and move to a place where you are sitting by or near your PSA group members. Together, you will work your way through the last few questions on the Google Form.
5. Once you finish and submit your Google Form, take the rest of the time to work on your two-chunk paragraph from yesterday, if you need to. I will be looking at those in your English Journal tomorrow night. If you don't, need to work on that, find something else to do, like study for your vocab test tomorrow.

HOMEWORK: 

• You have a vocab root test tomorrow.
• I'll be looking at your two-chunk paragraphs on Antony's speech tomorrow night, so finish that in your English Journal.
• Be prepared for some group work tomorrow.
