PSY 175 PSG ProjectWith a partner (or, if you strongly prefer, on your own) you will create a public service guide to help both your classmates and the general public to better understand important topics of human sexuality. You must pick from one of the topics below (no more than 2 teams may sign up for the same topic; first-come first-serve, please email Dr. Rojo to let her know your preferred topic) and create a brochure, pamphlet, short video (e.g., a Breaking News report), a short lecture (with presentation slides), website (you can just submit a design, not actually create a live site), or something similar (be as creative as youd like ) in which you provide your classmates and general public key (i.e., important) information about this topic, how to avoid consequences related to this topic, important statistical information (e.g., likelihood of occurrence), and (where relevant) please also include information about the laws and policies related to this topic, as well as resources that can be found in the Los Angeles area related to your chosen topic. Please also avoid including too much material that I have already presented in lectures; your PSG project submission should include roughly 70% material that is unique to you (i.e., I have not already presented it in class). In summary, please be sure to include all of the following on your submission (I strongly encourage you to use the following as a checklist, after you believe your project is complete, and before submitting):Identify the topicIdentify your main audience (i.e., is this public service guide intended for parents? School teachers? A certain age range in the population (e.g., teenagers, young adults, etc.)? LGBTW community? Law- and policymakers? The general public of Los Angeles?)Describe the issue/concern/importance of understanding this topicInclude 3 to 5 relevant statistics about this topic (e.g., prevalence of the issue)Include 5 key terms from our chapter <-synthesize the definition into your explanation of why this topic is important and/or how to be better informed and/or how to help others to be better educated on this topic (i.e., please dont just copy and paste the definition)oIf you are submitting something in writing, please bold or highlight these 5 terms. oIf submitting a video with no text, please submit an additional document in which you list these 5 termsInclude one major resource from the Los Angeles area, where viewers can seek aid and/or find additional informationClearly and accurately responds to question(s) from classmates (during class presentation see info below about PSG Project Response)At least 70% of material in PSG project submission in does NOT overlap with content that Dr. Rojo has already presented in classIf your submission has ANY kind of written format (e.g., presentation slides in a video, a pamphlet, etc.) you MUST CITE YOUR RESOURCES in APA format!

You are welcome to make them your own and be as specific as youd like! For example, for the topic of LGBTQ rights, you can choose to focus on the history and rights of these communities, or focus only on transgender children (e.g., maybe your public announcement is intended for parents, specifically), or even highlight a recent event (e.g., the passing of a new law) in a News Broadcast format.
