Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. The Traveling Trio is an adventure-filled educational series presented by three siblings who traverse the globe while exploring, learning and teaching viewers about our amazing world and all it has to offer. EDUCATIONAL/INFORMATIONAL OBJECTIVE The Traveling Trio provides CORE programming in the areas of geography,history, foreign language, social studies, and cultural awareness. The show meets these objectives by: ! presenting the location of the country with animated maps which show the current flag and surrounding countries; ! showing the hosts as they visit foreign countries; ! teaching about the culture and history of each location; ! making contact with local children and adults in each location; ! presenting foreign language as an obtainable skill through simple language lessons that are delivered by the hosts with the help of several children from the featured country; ! showing that children around the world are just like the hosts and the viewers. All children play, learn and make friends due to their natural propensity to be inquisitive; ! peer mentoring - youthful interaction makes kids feel more comfortable and allows the learning process to have a greater impact. In each episode Olivia, Ingram and Everett begin with a geography lesson that includes the location of the destination, thee flag, the language, and the bordering countries. Basic historical facts are presented in a clear, easy-tounderstand manner as the hosts move from location to location. In every episode, the hosts interact with each other as well as merchants and children from the destination country. Olivia, Ingram and Everett also conduct interviews with children and adults who are working for positive social change in their community (whenever possible), especially in regard to education and child welfare. In concluding the episodes, the hosts, with the help of some of their new friends, present a simple language lesson that teaches common phrases from the destination. This rudimentary tutorial is intended to spark an interest in foreign language by presenting it as an obtainable skill

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. WILD AMERICA is targeted to children ages 13-16. The key educational objective of the program is to familiarize children with the animals of the North American content, their interaction with other animals and their environment. Throughout the series emphasis will be placed upon protecting endangered species and the impact that humans have while interacting in their environment. Each episode of the series will be specific to a particular animal. Topics will range from basic food gather, mating, natural enemies, relationships to other animals, and the interaction of the specific ecology on the survival of the species. We expect that children viewing the program will achieve a greater understanding of nature and specific animal species because of the up-close and detailed photography of the series. Through this understanding, it is hoped children will better relate to the natural environment as it exist in North American and learn to protect its natural species.
