Welcome back to another semester of A Closer Look at Children’s Television. For those of you who joined me last semester you may remember that I was using this blog as a tool to help me do some research for my senior capstone project due this semester. Each week I watched a different children’s show and wrote about the themes or issues they addressed and how they might have been special or unique. Each show was different; some were animated and some were live action, some used digital effects and some used puppets, but each one was created to not only entertain children but to help them learn and grow.
This semester of A Closer Look…I plan on continuing with my weekly children show watching…but I’ll try to look a little deeper into the issues that the shows address in each episode rather than in the show in general. I will especially be on the look out for shows that deal the fear children feel when they are away from home for the first time or when they start school…since those are the topics I focus on in my capstone. I would also like to go back in time once and a while and look back on some more of the shows my friends and I grew up on. Maybe I’ll even do a comparison…Old School Sesame Street vs. today’s Sesame Street. I would also like to invite you…the readers…to write back and let me know if there are any shows you think I should watch or any advice on what you think appeals to children when it comes to TV. I think it’s going to be a good semester!!
Til next week,
:)
