PSAs in Persuasive Writing Unit

Sixth graders at Howe Manning School infused educational technology into their persuasive writing unit.  Students conducted research on a charity of their choice.  Their assignment was to persuade the reader to support their charity. 

After writing their essay, they were challenged with creating a PSA (Public Service Announcement) to persuade the audience to donate to their charity.

See presentation to teach students about creating PSAs below -
