PSAs, Info Page & Games
Both PSAs are complete. There are two versions of each. One with the logo staying on screen, and one where it disappears.
New page for the website is up. The info page... contents are below:
The Water Avengers Plan!
* Establish a sustainable population of endangered fish in Colorado rivers.
* Raise community awareness and ownership of local waterways.
* Teach 3rd & 4th graders how to hatch and raise fish in the classroom.
* Raised fish will be put on display at Denver Zoo.
* The fish will then be released into local waterways.
Here are some ways you can help keep Colorado's rivers clean!
* Dispose of dangerous household products properly. Don't pour things like paint, oil, cleaning liquids, polishes and other chemicals down drains, sinks or toilets.
* Disposing of these chemicals properly is good, but not buying them in the first place is better! Try to use non-toxic household products.
* Recycle and dispose of all trash properly. Never flush anything down the toilet that shouldn't be flushed down the toilet!
* Try not to waste water. Only use as much as you need when you shower or brush your teeth.
Games are also complete and are being added to the site.

Script for PSA2:
We as the Water Avengers can’t do everything ourselves, we need your help too! You can help us out by raising fish in your classroom.
There are endangered fish in Colorado who need to be reintroduced into our rivers and streams.
Our Water Avengers program is allowing kids like you to help hatch and raise fish in your classroom.
Once raised they will be moved to Denver Zoo so that everyone can see the hard work that you are doing.
Then the fish will be released into Colorado rivers so that their population can grow again.
You are a vital part of the Water Avengers team and we need your help to protect Colorado’s water and the animals that live in it.

Updated Plan!
Okay... so,
The animals we are doing now are:
- Northern Redbelly Dace
- Northern Leopard Frog
- Yellow Mud Turtle
We have started thinking about website layout...
Main splash page (with 1st PSA), which leads to 3 different pages for each animal, which then lead back to the 2nd PSA. With constant navigation along the bottom of each page.
I think we still need to figure out what other pages we need though. And what games we might want to include.
I guess that means we need to research possible games we could figure out how to make. Alex seemed to have an idea which sounded promising.
Thanks to Asterisk, we have our characters designed. We now need to color them and start thinking about how we may want to animate them. Also how we want to incorporate them into the site.
Which leads to the site design. We have the color palette, and Alex is making progress with the logo. We need to figure out a font for paragraph text to use throughout. And what kind of headers, footers or other graphics we may want incorporated.
Other stuff we need to do include the PSA scripts which I am gathering information for. And we need to research more on our three animals, which I think Jeff is going to do.

Blog 04/09
Thinking about information for either the website or the PSAs.
What kids can do to help:
VISIT RIVERS
see where the animals live,
what are the environments like?
are they polluted?
what should the environments be like?
engage in fun activities
PROTECT LOCAL WATERWAYS/RENEW WATER QUALITY
what not to pour down sinks or drains,
how to dispose of things properly, why?
what should we dispose in garbage cans? why?
the waste water treatment process
RAISE FISH IN CLASSROOM
understand responcibility they have been given,
what care do fish need?
how to take of them and how long for,
what happens next? - taken to zoo
TAKE FAMILY MEMBER TO ZOO TO SEE FISH
they get to see all the hard work they've done,
see other endangered animals
STUDENT RELATIONSHIPS
blog? chat?
records of different schools,
how many fish each school has raised
Also,
WHY DO THEY NEED SAVING?
how have the numbers dropped?
why are they important?
