PSA Intent

For my PSA i will use a more serious approach to my topic that includes the consequences of the lack of proper oral care. Since this is a important issue i will use impotant stats that will show the seriousness of this issue. I will try to show some of the health effects of the issue with pictures, examples, etc. This is a rough outline of the order my PSA will follow...
  • Why lack of health insurance is important
  • consequences
  • call to action

Beginning Preliminary identification of presentation Capstone elements

  • My capstone will include having to purchase materials and props for my #D model of a dental clinic and show possible lesson plans for schools so children can learn about the importance of their oral health and dental care.
  • I will present my poster material on a standup poster board
  • As i mentioned before, i will have a 3D model of an example low income/free dental clinics that can be created in neighborhoods.
  • I will be in professional attire that is worn by dentists
  • effects of the lack of health insurance, why it is it so important, illnesses and diseases related to this
  • Yes, i will create a brochure with key points and important information
  • I will be presenting my information on a website

Discuss look and feel issues

A.) I think i would like to use more comedy in my PSA because it will grab peoples attention even more and bring them to realize the seriousness of the situation with the use of humor. It will also be more fun and interesting for people to learn about the issue.

B.) I will use bright colors and bold and playful fonts because some of my project deals with educating young children on the aspects of proper oral care, so playful colors and fonts will catch the eye. I will also have to use solid plain color for the other half of my presentation that targets adults so it will highlight the seriousness of the situation. I will use photographs that show the negative effects of the lack of dental care and related illnesses and diseases.


C.) My video and site will be persuasive because i will use interesting and serious points and display them in an interesting and informative manner which will make the reader or listener want to know more.


D.) I will use clear and interesting points that are simple, to the point, and easy to grasp. I will not overwhelm the listener with a ton of information so they will not be bored.

E.) My end product will be a 3D model and representation of a free/low income dental clinic for people who can not afford the proper dental insurance needed to suffice. I will also create a lesson plan in schools for young children that will them how to maintain proper oral health
