Last week, Michelle Way from the World Animal Awareness Society spoke to the students about getting the message about animals out to a large audience, and how to incorporate the best images & video into their projects. She gave them information about fair use sites such as archive.org and how to request permission to use other people's pictures and videos. Michelle will return next week to check out the progress on the PSA's and offer her advice.
Students also had the opportunity to hear from the Detroit Bully Crew, and meet their special spokes-dog, Tank. Tank's story touched the hearts of the class, and helped to motivate them to create awareness about the mistreatment of pit bulls, and all dogs. Tank was very well behaved and greeted every student with a slobbery hello. The DBC showed pictures of what Tank had been through and explained why they want to help in Detroit, and the importance of spaying and neutering our animals. They can't wait to see what the students come up with for their PSA's and allowed the students to use their website as a reference. They also gave every one of the students their own Detroit Bully Crew T-shirt which was so generous and thoughtful of them! What an amazing experience for our class!
What did you think of the presentations? Do you have any questions for WA2S or DBC? Any thoughts or comments you would like to share about the P.A.W.S. experience so far?
