| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | "9th Period" is a weekly half-hour drama series for teens that teaches positive consequences of thought and action when combined with friendship's effective influences. This series is comprised of three friends who meet every day after school to discuss the day's events. Their exchanges are witty and on par with the subject matter of the social interaction that today's children experience. These three friends are more than friends, they are amateur sleuths. Each show presents a mystery that the children solve by the end of that show. Problem solving, working together toward a common goal, ethics and morals are conveyed through the thoughts, words and actions of these three characters: Peyton, Connor and Meg. Every child will see him/herself in these characters. Peyton, Connor and Meg share their daily trials and triumphs as they face the following together: bullies-both cyberspace and in your faces-thievery, learning difficulties, family conflicts, adversity in and out of the classroom, homelessness, hidden agendas in places as small as the schoolyard to their favorite restaurant and as large as the town itself. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | To promote creativity and individuality and pro-social behavior through teaching young viewers how to recycle old objects into new by means of do-it-yourself handicrafts in the context of highly positive inter personal interactions. Cake, a dynamic young adolescent who has never seen a glue-gun she didn't like, lives by the motto that "You can't buy individuality, but you can make it." She revels in recycling cast-offs, used up clothing and accessories, and just plain "stuff" into highly creative and individualized expressions of fashion and personality. Cake is joined by two peers, Benjamin and Miracle, and a slightly younger "tween", Amy, as they discuss their respective lives, problems, hopes and aspirations while producing a weekly "do-it-yourself" local access TV program for kids. Each week, personal events in our characters' life provide Cake and her friends with inspiration for a new creative project. Cake and her crew consistently model mutual respect and admiration, supportiveness and the ability to engage in the kinds of cooperative give-and-take necessary for the successful functioning of almost any group. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | For young people today, new information is generally no more than a mouse-click away. Knowledge is readily there for the taking if kids simply know how to appropriately access it and effectively make use of it. In the context, many of the most useful and important things that youngsters can learn center on discovery, analysis and problem-solving - how do kids get the "right" information and make proper use of it. What questions should be asked? How does one assess veracity? How does one weigh alternatives? How are decisions best arrived at? How does one decide when aims can be accomplished independently, and if help is needed, how does one go about enlisting support? Above all, how can goals be achieved ethically and with regard to the greater good. In an enticing new world filled with excitement, mystery and danger, "Magi Nation" addresses these vital learning goals. Tony and Edyn along with their human and decidedly non-human colleagues model their successful, and sometimes less that successful, attempts to analyze difficult situations, set appropriate goals, and creatively seek solutions to the dire dilemmas in which they find themselves. In the course of a series of intriguing codes, riddles and other puzzles that Tony and Edyn are presented with along the way, viewers are furthermore given the engaging opportunity to not only observe others go through the problem solving cycle, but to make use of their unique knowledge base and burgeoning problem solving skills to address conundrums on their own. |

Knowledge is readily there for the taking if kids simply know how to appropriately access it and effectively make use of it. In the context, many of the most useful and important things that youngsters can learn center on discovery, analysis and problem-solving - how do kids get the "right" information and make proper use of it. What questions should be asked? How does one assess veracity? How does one weigh alternatives? How are decisions best arrived at? How does one decide when aims can be accomplished independently, and if help is needed, how does one go about enlisting support? Above all, how can goals be achieved ethically and with regard to the greater good. In an enticing new world filled with excitement, mystery and danger, "Magi Nation" addresses these vital learning goals. Tony and Edyn along with their human and decidedly non-human colleagues model their successful, and sometimes less that successful, attempts to analyze difficult situations, set appropriate goals, and creatively seek solutions to the dire dilemmas in which they find themselves. In the course of a series of intriguing codes, riddles and other puzzles that Tony and Edyn are presented with along the way, viewers are furthermore given the engaging opportunity to not only observe others go through the problem solving cycle, but to make use of their unique knowledge base and burgeoning problem solving skills to address conundrums on their own. |
