Texting during class PSA. "Your education, your loss."

Student is texting during class. We see her throughout the day in several different classes. In history class, the teacher mentions a specific fact which is missed by the student.

Cut to: The student (older now) is on a game show, and the question being asked is the same one she missed out on in class. End on student as she is completely stumped.

Text: Your education, your loss.

Could emulate Slumdog Millionaire


28 Years Later

A student is seen throwing trash on the floor throughout the day.
Later, he falls asleep in class. Cut to black.

Title: 28 Years Later

Student, older looking, wakes up alone in an empty classroom. He discovers that he is alone, then notices a broom next to him. The floor is covered in trash.

He cautiously explores the empty school. The amount of trash grows with each shot. Music from 28 Days Later (Godspeed You Black Emperor!) plays underneath. As the music intensifies he becomes more and more frantic.

Music Videos!

Look for a music video on the web that you would like to share with the class (must be reasonably school appropriate). Then post a comment with a link to the video and your name.
