8/29

Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

I agree with this statement because we need to start planning our lives now. It is our job to help people and take care of our world. We need to get off our butts and start working hard.

What is a Public Service Announcement? If you don't know what it is, Google it. In your own words, now tell me what it is? What are they used for? Can you recall an example of a PSA you've seen before?



A public service announcement is an ad that raises awareness towards a social issue. It makes us aware of problems in our society. I've seen PSA's for drugs, breast cancer, drinking, etc.

After watching the short clip of Ashton Kutcher's acceptance speech what did you take away from his advice? What does this quote mean to you -"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use."

I learned that you have to work hard to open up opportunities. I think he meant that life isn't all about good looks. It's about being thoughtful and generous and helping people out. He believes that you could make a life for yourself instead of living in someone else's life. Do things your own way.
