Assignment: Short Story Public Service Announcement (PSA)
A public service announcement (PSA) is like an advertisement that informs us about something important. The purpose of a PSA is to benefit the public by raising awareness about an issue or topic.
1. Create the PSA flyer
In this assignment, you will choose a single fiction story from the analyze the story (see Lesson 3.3), and create a PSA flyer on a single theme from your analysis (see the example attached to the directions). You will not include the story title or author in the flyer; this is not a book report cover. The flyer focuses only on the theme and adheres to the purpose of a PSA.
Your PSA flyer should:
- Include a “hook†that grabs the viewerâ€
s attention. - Use font and color choices wisely and purposefully. For example, bold font can emphasize key points.
- Fit on a single 8 ½ x 11 page.
- Be in Microsoft Word or PDF file format and not hand drawn/created. If you do not have Microsoft Word, download the free OpenOffice software here: Acceptable file formats are .doc, .docx, .odt, or PDF only.

First sentence: Topic sentence identifying themeâ€s connection and naming the storyâ€s title and author
Second sentence: Evidence for the theme
Third sentence: Explanation of the evidence
Fourth sentence: Identify why the PSA topic is important for the publicâ€s awareness

3. Reference your sources to avoid plagiarism and copyright issues
Below your paragraph include your 2 information sources and 2 image sources in APA format. See Purdueâ€s Online Writing site for examples. Locate your source type and then follow the examples step by step:
See the example PSA flyer attached. The example PSA flyer is based on Jack Londonâ€s To Build a Fire that you read in Part 1 of the course. In To Build a Fire, the themes present are man versus nature and the main characterâ€s arrogance. The PSA illustrates these themes by noting the life-threatening danger of hypothermia and how to educate ourselves (listening to the experts) and to plan ahead and prepare. When you analyze your chosen story, remember that summary is not analysis. To create the PSA, you must focus on a theme(s) from the storyâ€s analysis.
Your paper will be screened for plagiarism. If you’d like help in this area, please email your teacher, visit our online library (the Learning Resource Center), or feel free to book a one-on-one appointment with a writing coach in the writing lab:
