The media specialist provides training in taping procedures. Other preparation includes a unit on research skills unit and the county's introduction to service-learning. The students spend about three weeks of class time doing research, writing the script, planning, rehearsing, taping, viewing, and editing their public service announcement. The students are entitled to service-learning credit after they have presented their finished product to their chosen audience. The class views all the videos, discusses the issues as well as the value and impact of educating others.
Students prepare journal entries following their public presentation.
Many students continue to promote their cause and include others long after this project ends.
