//**Option 3: Inspire Involvement**// If you choose to do Option 3, you, and possibly a partner, will create a short public service announcement, or commercial, or a wikispace, blog or glog. Your creation should teach about:

-the Hebrew phrase "Tikkun Olam" which means "heal the world" or "repair the world" or - advertise an organization that fights genocide or aids its victims.

It should be no more than two minutes long.

Be sure to read through the grading rubric carefully before beginning your work.

3. **Start narrowing down your ideas to one central message.** The main idea of your advertisement should fit into one short sentence**.** 4. **Begin in-depth research to gain facts and statistics to include in your advertisement. Record anything that may be useful so you'll have it later.** 5. **Decide the best medium for your commercial - do you want it to be an audio ad or a combination of photos and text?** 6. **Create a storyboard for your commercial - planning out each scene and the script to go along with it.**
