Education to protect urban wildlife

ISSUE: Urban Wildlife.
BACKGROUND: One 2nd and 3rd grade PA group at Inter-District Downtown School in Minneapolis took on the issue of making yards safe for birds and wild animals. They are concerned because animals and birds are losing habitat due to increasing development. The group came up with straightforward tips for city residents, creating a public service announcement as a means for making the information public.

PROJECT STEPS

  • Researched the issue
  • Created and wrote public service announcement which included tips for city residents on how to make their yards more bird and animal friendly
  • Rehearsed and practiced the public service announcement
  • Recorded the public service announcement at a local radio station

RESULT: The public service announcement was played frequently on a local radio station.
