Teen activist commercials are in full swing. Students are filming, practicing, script writing, and revising. We cannot wait to see how they all turn out. If students are creating them at home, they either need to save to their google drive (or yours) and share OR bring in a flash drive OR create a youtube private commercial. Students have not had success in the past recording them with their phones and trying to just share the video. It HAS to be on their google drive.
