    PSA Pitch

    Building Comprehension Using QAR*

    (*Question Answer Relationships)

     

    We’ll start with a scene where a student is having difficulty finding the answer to a question in Reading. The QAR Squad comes to the rescue.  I will use one student character for each strategy; Right There, Think & Search, On My Own and Author & Me. Characters will recap each strategy for the student in trouble. PSA ends with the student happily waving good-bye to the QAR squad as they run off to help another student in distress.

    I like it. You're going to have to be very disciplined to get this into the 30-60 second time constraints, making sure every frame is needed with no lags and wasted time. But that's a good message for all filmmakers all the time. Keep it focused and tight and it will be a great project. Now: Script and Storyboard.
