Advocacy Public Service Announcements

This past week my advocacy group put together our advocacy message, and the process seemed to somewhat mirror our video essay unit from two semesters ago. Yet this particular production really required more technology and software skills, while the video essay seemed to revolve more around the 'writing process'. While both seem to have a lot of potential to serve as a good authentic problem, I can really see the advocacy public service announcement being much better suited for high school students as opposed to middle school, or even k-5 learners. Each has their advantages & disadvantages form a teacher's standpoint, I guess you have to decide which format works best for your individual situation.......
