This project was written to tap the creative potential in children and to familiarize them with the medium that is so close to their daily lives -- television.Daily instruction included lessons in creative expressions and music experiences, as well as television production and programming. Activities in creative expression included pantomine, role-play, clowning, and puppetry. An introduction to music instruments, exercises in solo and group singing, and opportunities for creative dance were among the music experiences offered. Daily lessons in television production and programming comprised instruction in script writing, an introduction to studio equipment, crew roles, production teminology, as well as "hands on" experiences with video equipment. Children were given opportunities to apply their learned skills by writing original scripts and assuming positions as technical members and talent during video taping sessions. The video tapes that resulted were samples of what a program such as this can produce in our children today.

It was the purpose of this study (1) to investigate the radio listening and television viewing habits of seventh, eighth; and ninth-grade students at Daniel Webster Junior High School, Stockton, California, (2) to determine whether there was a relationship between grades received at school and the amount of time spent listening to the radio and/or watching television; and (3) to show whether there was any direct application of radio listening or television viewing in their academic work.
