Shirley Garrett

Garrett's project, Channel Earth, is a videotaped, simulated news television program created by the students. As part of their language arts program, the students gathered information on environmental issues (rain forest destruction, recycling, conservation, etc.) and possible solutions. Then the students organized the information into different forms (such as essays, books, skits, and poems) and produced, edited and presented a finished video on the school's closed circuit television every nine weeks.
