              • If your students have the means to create a PSA on video, it is important to give them some tips on using
               sound for a more powerful message.

              • Remind your students to gather their sub-products and to have them at hand while working through the
               practice. Having them in a linear manner (as if it were book) tends to be less effective than having them on
               a poster, since that way they can view them all at the same time.
              • The CD icon will appear throughout the practice to indicate the activity the track is linked to. However,
               remember the way we order activities is a suggestion and you may change them to suit the purposes you
               established with your students.
