Introduction
Y
ou may be among the
thousands of Kentucky
teachers who have used KET
EncycloMedia in the classroom.
Or perhaps youʼve incorporated
KET3 educational programming
into your teaching or participated
in professional development opportunities offered via KET4. You
may have attended a workshop
on media literacy conducted by
one of our education consultants,
helped students enroll in our
outstanding distance learning
courses, or used an Arts Toolkit
to teach your class about dance,
drama, or visual arts.
Or you may be new to KET,
just beginning to discover what
we offer Kentucky teachers and
students. In any case, this book is
your passport to our rich array of
resources and services.
As educational technologies
advance, youʼll ﬁnd that KET
evolves with them. This year,
KET EncycloMedia, the comprehensive online multimedia learning service launched in 2005, has
been updated and expanded. Not
only does it have a new
look, it also offers new instructional features including audio clips, tutorials on
educational software, and a
writing prompt generator.
And this wonderful service
is still available free of
charge to Kentucky public
schools.
When you tune in to KET3,
youʼll notice more changes.
Weʼve extended our broadcast schedule of quality educational programming to 21 hours
a day, seven days a week.
Weʼve also reorganized the
schedule by core content area
and established consistent daily
air times for popular programs
like Cyberchase, Reading
Rainbow, and News Quiz:
This school year, I hope you and
your students take advantage
of KETʼs many resources—all
designed with your needs and priorities in mind. Whether youʼre
looking for exciting professional
development tools like Literacy
Strategies in Action, a new CD-
ROM for primary teachers
produced in partnership with the
Kentucky Department of Education, or relying on continuing
services like Distance Learning,
youʼve come to the right place.
Please browse through the
Resource book, visit us at
www.ket.org/education/, and
check out KET3 and KET4. I
know youʼll like what you see.

Executive Director

KET3 DIGITAL
Check out the changes to KET3!
KET3 has a completely new look this year.
As part of KET’s continuing efforts to provide
the most effective, diverse, and complete
educational resources to Kentucky schools,
KET3’s broadcast schedule has expanded
to 21 hours a day, 7 days a week, of quality
instructional television linked to Kentucky
academic standards. In addition, KET3’s
broadcast schedule has been reorganized by
core content area, with each day of the week
linked to particular academic disciplines.
The popular programs Cyberchase, Reading
Rainbow, Between the Lions, and KET’s
News Quiz now have consistent daily air
times that will be even easier for teachers to
access. Weekend professional development
programming blocks, PBS and PBS Kids programming, Inside Kentucky Schools, the
U. S. Department of Education’s
Education Parents Can Use, and teacher
request blocks make KET3 an even more
versatile instructional resource for Kentucky
schools.
Please continue to send us your suggestions
and ideas for KET3. Stay tuned, keep in
touch, and teach!

Kentuckian Liz Bussey Fentress’s one-woman play spans 23 years,
beginning when Liz is 21 and just graduated from the University of
Wisconsin. With job prospects dim in her chosen field of theater, she
takes a job as ringmistress, organist, and puppet show performer with
Wayne Franzen’s Franzen Bros. Circus, a brand-new one-ring circus.
Through Liz’s portrayal of herself, Wayne, and an array of other circus
characters and animals, she shares the trials and triumphs of the fledgling circus and her own efforts to pursue her dream of working in theater. As a 44-year-old at the play’s end, Liz realizes that her circus experience has taught her humorous, tragic, and life-changing lessons about
what individuals can achieve if they believe in their dreams. Originally
produced at Horse Cave Theatre, the play was adapted for television by
Fentress and directed by Vince Spoelker. A KET production.

The Big A is a 10-program series designed to teach children the processes
of looking at art, talking about art, and creating art. The program host,
cartoonist Don Arioli, explores concepts related to art history, art criticism, aesthetics, and art production. Each program features a different
art education theme and includes animated and dramatic segments,
documentary footage of children, guest artists, and famous works of art.
1. Telling a Story in Art — Host Don Arioli introduces his cartoon side-
kick, “Norman the Storyteller,” to show students how artists use
their own experiences to tell stories. The program highlights the storytelling aspects of Northwest Coast Indian art.
2. Getting Ideas — The Big A kids use zoo animals as a source for their
art ideas. Visits to a sculptor’s and a painter’s studios reveal the
steps artists take to turn their ideas into art creations.
3. Exploring Ideas — Students learn how to make use of an “idea book”
as a source for creating their own art work. Don explains that before
ideas can be turned into art, artists need to explore, experiment,
refine, and clarify them. The kids visit a Javanese puppet master and
a sculptor to see how artists transform their ideas into art.

and a painter introduce students to the different tools and materials
used in creating art and how artists use them to achieve the expressive quality they desire.
5. Teamwork — Don and the children work together to put on a puppet show. Students go through the process of brainstorming, finding
and testing solutions, dividing tasks, and completing their show. The
program also highlights professional teamwork by showing how
filmmakers use special effects to make a film about dinosaurs.
6. Lines, Shapes, Colors, and Textures — Don introduces the elements
of design: line, shape, color, and texture. With the help of a billboard
artist, he and the kids transform a graffiti-covered tank into a mural
full of animated lines and shapes.
7. Putting It Together — Don introduces the concept of composition. A
trip to a farmer’s market provides lots of sketches for the kids’ idea
books. A visit with a painter teaches the children how to organize a
painting through repetition and variety.
8. What Does it Mean? — Don and the children visit an art museum,
where they talk with a photographer, an art curator, and a West
African artist about how to interpret works of art in terms of their
design elements and compositions.
9. I Like It Because — The children visit an art gallery. The gallery
owner discusses the works of art on display and encourages them to
critique the works in terms of their likes and dislikes.
10. Different Ways of Seeing — For a surprise birthday party for Don,
the kids create works of art that show his image in different ways.
They also explore using the computer to create art, making a story

Ellis Wilson (1899-1977) was an artist whose passion for painting took
him from his native Mayfield, KY, to Manhattan, where he worked for
50 years. Using bold color, shape, and form, Wilson captured the beauty and dignity of ordinary black people in more than 300 paintings.
In the process, he helped integrate the art world, paving the way for
younger African American artists. The program’s Web site provides
additional information about Wilson and other African American artists as well as two lesson plans.

Kentucky's 18th century settlements, provide an intriguing glimpse
into Kentucky's pioneer past. Students will learn why early settlers
moved to Kentucky as well as the routes they traveled. Early settlers
encountered many barriers to exploration and settlement, experienced conflict and compromise in their interactions with Kentucky's
native peoples, and endured many hardships as they used the natural
resources to survive and establish communities on the frontier. Along
the way, these early pioneers created a unique culture and forever
changed the physical environment of the land they settled.
Through the video and Web site, students will visit these reconstructed

Play, sing, and sign along with Singing Time! while learning American
Sign Language. This multi-sensory program introduces children to a
"hands on" second language. It is natural and fun for them to use their
bodies to communicate. Research shows that, when empowered with
even a few simple ASL signs:
•
•
•
babies and toddlers can express their needs through sign long
before they can speak (resulting in fewer tantrums!)
school-aged children can develop larger vocabularies and better
reading skills while learning a second language
children with special needs or developmental delays can find their
own "voice"
Aligned with the National Standards for Foreign Language
Learning, the Kentucky Content for World Language Proficiency
and addresses the KY Core Content for Arts and Humanities
!Arte y más! is aligned with national standards in foreign language
instruction, which support an immersion approach to teaching children a second language. Immersion philosophy centers on contentbased instruction completely in the target language. The lessons are
based on Kentucky’s Arts and Humanities core content.
!Arte y más! consists of two levels of introductory instruction--Level
1 which is 26 programs dealing with introductory language and
movement concepts, and Level 2 which is an additional 34 programs
dealing with music, visual arts, and drama. In addition, there is a professional development component that focuses on understanding the
theory of how children acquire a second language and practical implementation tips for classroom usage.
Level 1 also contains Program 0 which is conducted entirely in English
and introduces students and teachers to !Arte y más! The lessons are
guided by four underlying principles:
1) the lessons reflect direct instruction in Kentucky Arts and
Humanities Core Content;
2) all instruction is in Spanish;
3) children are actively engaged with the content, not passive
viewers; and
4) teachers participate with the children.

tistics is a way of solving puzzles using data, and that statistics can be
divided into three main areas: describing data, producing data, and
drawing conclusions from data.
Stemplots — The distribution of a variable is a pattern of values. The
stemplot is described as a graphical method of looking at the overall
patterns of data.
Histograms — The video uses graphics to briefly show how to make a
histogram, with emphasis on how to choose the classes. More information is given on patterns of distribution as skewness is considered.
Measures of Center — As histograms display male and female earnings, the median and the mean are introduced as alternative methods
of comparing data. On-screen graphics present the recipe for calculating the median.
Boxplots — A measure of spread or variability is presented with the
use of boxplots.
Standard Deviation — The concept of the standard deviation is
explained as a function of variance.

Play, sing, and sign along with Signing Time! while learning American
Sign Language! This multi-sensory program introduces children to a
"hands on" second language. It is natural and fun for them to use their
bodies to communicate. Research shows that, when empowered with
even a few simple ASL signs:
•
•
•
babies and toddlers can express their needs through sign long before
they can speak (resulting in fewer tantrums!)
school-aged children can develop larger vocabularies and better
reading skills while learning a second language
children with special needs or developmental delays can find their
own "voice"
With an unparalleled multi-sensory approach (encouraging learning
through three senses: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic), Signing Time!
reaches children with diverse learning styles and abilities by encouraging interaction through signing, singing, speaking, and dancing.
Featuring the remarkable Rachel Coleman, her daughter Leah (who is
deaf), Alex (Leah's cousin, who can hear) and their animated pet frog
"Hopkins", the Signing Time! series teaches hundreds of ASL vocabulary-building signs that are useful in daily life. Charming animation,
children who sign, and delightful songs make any time Signing Time!

The emphasis in Cursive Handwriting is on demonstration and practice
of cursive letters and words. Direct instruction, letter animation, and
graphics introduce letters and words that can easily be practiced by
the students during and after the television lesson. Specific instruction
is given for both right- and left-handed students on correct cursive
writing, paper and pencil position, and posture. The letter formations
shown in this series are basically similar to the Zaner-Bloser method of
handwriting. The programs should be used in sequence.

organizational schemes.
7. Sharing Your Results — Learning about the various ways to present
information, and how the format can affect the search and results.
8. Thinking About What You Did — Asking questions to assess a product—why might it fail, what might be wrong with the information,
and what is needed to help a project succeed.
9. Thinking About How You Did — Evaluating a final product by reviewing the four-step process and revising as necessary.

George Ella Lyon and composer Lawrence Dillon discuss how characters can be created through words and music.
2. Setting the Scene — George Ella Lyon reads an excerpt from Here
and Then illustrating setting, and the Central Kentucky Youth
Orchestra shows how music describes setting by performing
“Sunrise” from Peer Gynt.
3. Conflict and Resolution — George Ella Lyon reads her book One
Lucky Girl, which describes a real-life conflict, and the Louisville
Youth Orchestra plays a storm scene from Beethoven’s 6th
Symphony.
Write Ideas is a series of 10 short video exercises designed to spark children’s imagination and help them find clever, enticing ideas to write
about. Program host Aleda Shirley is a poet who spent more than
five years teaching creative writing to young people in the Jefferson
County Public School System. This KET-produced series is a compact,
video version of the successful techniques she used.
1. Colors — Aleda asks students to think of the most vibrant colors they
have seen.
2. The Third Eye — Aleda tells students that the third eye is simply an
eye that can see things their regular eyes can’t.
3. Wishes — Aleda asks students to write several long, detailed sentences about their wishes—their unusual, crazy, even weird wishes.
4. Animals — Aleda lets students choose any animal they want and
imagine what it’s like being that animal—and then write lots of long,
detailed sentences about their ideas.
5. Letter to the Moon — Aleda tells students they suddenly have the
power to talk to the moon and suggests things they might tell it.
6. Seeing Music — A musician joins Aleda to play some instrumental
music. She asks students to write down what they see when they listen to music or imagine what the music would be if it were not music.
7. Simultaneous Events — Aleda asks students to imagine things that
might be going on in other places at the very minute they are watching the show and writing their sentences.
8. Quiet Times — Aleda tells students to think about the times in their
lives or the times they can imagine that seem most quiet to them and
asks that they explain why these times seemed so quiet.
9. Being Things — Aleda asks students to choose an object they would
like to be and then to write about what it is like to be that object.
10. Negative Imagery — Aleda asks students to select any object and
describe what it isn’t, rather than what it is; to tell what it can’t do,
rather than what it can do.

More than 50% of the words we use today are derived from Latin.
Students who want to increase their “word power” in English can do
so either by studying Latin in a traditional way or by learning some
basic root words, prefixes, and suffixes. Joan Jahnige, KET’s satellite
Latin II teacher, designed this six-part series to help high school students improve vocabulary decoding skills by learning some of those
basic Latin roots.
*Though designed for high school students looking toward college entrance tests,
this series will also be valuable enrichment for advanced middle school students.
1. Overview — explores how languages evolve; introduces a variety
of English words taken from Latin; shows how new words can be
coined using roots, prefixes, and suffixes
2. Growing Words from More Latin Roots — more combinations of word
parts
3. Latin in Medicine and Science — looks at medicine in ancient Rome
and Greece
4. Legal Latin/Latin in Government — compares ancient Rome’s legal
and political systems to ours
5. Latin in Daily Use: Sports, Food, Art, and Music
6. Wrap-Up — decoding unfamiliar words

Between the Lions opens up a world of literature and learning for children
aged four to seven. Each episode centers on a book or other written
material that Theo and Cleo and their cubs, Lionel and Leona, and their
friends discover in the library. Some of their friends are Click the Mouse,
the library’s cyborg communications expert; Cliff Hanger, a swashbuckling comic book hero who escapes from sticky situations through quick
thinking and literacy skills; Tiger Words , a multi-talented sports figure
who plays with vowels and consonants instead of golf balls and tees;
Martha Reads and the Vowelles, a rhythm and blues group that sings
only vowel sounds; and the stalwart knights of “Gawain’s World” whose
jousting matches create words instead of wounds.

Complementing the primary-level language arts curriculum, this
series shows how folk and fairy tales promote active listening, sharpen
comprehension skills, and extend vocabulary. Their simple, direct
plots provide superb examples of structure, organization, and chronological sequencing and can be used to help students develop logic
skills. The stories can be a springboard for teaching the analysis skills
such as thinking critically, interpreting information, and predicting
results. Teletales also will enhance the various social studies, as distant
lands and distant times are brought near.

Students must read the book to learn the ending. The goals are to
introduce 5th and 6th graders to a variety of exciting and well-written
books, stimulate the desire to read, broaden each student’s reading
experience, expand reading abilities, and instill the simple enjoyment
of leisure reading.

This series humanizes and demystifies the creative process through
interviews with six mid-career writers and their colleagues, friends,
relatives, and critics; visits to places related to their work; and readings from that work. The teacher’s guide includes biographical information, brief bibliographies, and writing activities for students.
1. Bobbie Ann Mason — Mason visits her hometown of Mayfield and
Photo: Rick McComb
talks about its influence on her work. The program includes readings from the novels In Country and Feather Crowns as well as several
short stories, plus an excerpt from the Hollywood film of In Country.
2. Ed McClanahan — The author reads from his novel, The Natural Man,
and the autobiographical work, Famous People I Have Known, and
talks about influences from Charles Dickens to Ken Kesey. Visits to
boyhood haunts in Northern Kentucky prompt stories of the origins
of McClanahan’s ideas and characters.
3. Marsha Norman — Backstage scenes of the production of a Broadway
version of The Red Shoes frame the story of this Louisville playwright.
Norman and others read from ‘night, Mother, which won the Pulitzer,
and the Tony Award-winning musical The Secret Garden, for which
Norman wrote the script.
4. Lee Smith — Growing up in Grundy, Virginia, near the Kentucky
border, 9-year-old Lee Smith wrote—and sold, for a nickel apiece—
stories about her neighbors. Since 1968, she has published nine novels, including Fair and Tender Ladies and Oral History and two short
story collections. The sense of place infusing her novels reveals her
insight into and empathy for Appalachian people and culture.
5. George C. Wolfe — The New York theatre scene is literally and figuratively miles away from the segregated but nurturing African-American
community of 1960s Frankfort and the childhood of this Tony Awardwinning playwright/director. This program explores the juxtaposition
of past and present in the life and work of the man who wrote The
Colored Museum, wrote and directed Jelly’s Last Jam and Bring In ’Da
Noise, Bring In ’Da Funk, directed Angels in America, and led the New
York Shakespeare Festival/Joseph Papp Public Theater.
6. Barbara Kingsolver — Like the lead character in her first novel,
The Bean Trees, Kingsolver left her Kentucky hometown to settle in
Arizona, where she has written critically acclaimed novels, poetry,
short stories, and nonfiction. This portrait examines how Kingsolver’s
“wallflower” youth in Carlisle led to her “fierce wish to look inside
people” as well as an “aptitude for listening.”

Brazil, this program illustrates the geographic spirit of Bishop’s life and
works with scenes from her poems. Mark Strand, James Merrill, Octavio

Emily Dickinson — Dramatic scenarios and New England landscapes
illuminate the passionate genius of Dickinson, whose poems represent a broad range of imaginative experience. Adrienne Rich, Joyce
Carol Oates, and Dickinson biographer Richard Sewall comment.
T.S. Eliot — Eliot’s life, influence, and poetry—from the bold
originality of “Prufrock” to the probing, meditative style of “Four
Quartets”—are explored with photos; archival footage; and discussion with friends, critics, and scholars.
Robert Frost — Frost’s image as elder statesman is contrasted with
his vigorous, poetic exploration of the darker forces of nature and the
human condition. Readings and interviews yield compelling insights
into his work.
Langston Hughes* — Hughes wrote of the beauty, dignity, and heritage of blacks in America. Interviews, music, and dance performances convey his work and influence, discussed by James Baldwin and
biographer Arnold Rampersad.
Walt Whitman* — Brilliant readings of Whitman’s poems demonstrate his American vision and style and vividly convey their poignancy and sheer power. Whitman’s sources, including Emerson, the
King James Bible, opera, and political oratory, are revealed.

The primary goal of this science and natural history series is to excite
children about investigating the natural world by exposing them to
scientific practices in a positive way. The programs help children see
themselves as scientists who can go outside and learn directly from
the world around them.
1. That's My Baby — Everyone begins as a baby, but not all babies need
the same care to become self-sufficient.
2. Birds — If you learn what to look and listen for, you begin to identify
the world's amazingly varied birds.
3. Butterflies — These colorful insects go through a process called
metamorphosis, from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly.
4. Clouds — By observing clouds, we can begin to understand the
weather.
5. Color — Like us, animals often use colors to send messages.
6. Dinner Tools — Each animal has the right kind of tools to gather and
eat its favorite foods.
7. Dinosaurs — We can learn what dinosaurs looked like and how they
lived by piecing together dinosaur fossils and by observing some
animals alive today.
8. Home-Sweet-Home — Animals make or find the materials to create
homes that are right for them.
9. Paper — Paper has a multitude of properties, forms, and uses.
Although most often made from wood, it can also be made from a
variety of other materials.
10. Rocks and Minerals* — Rocks and minerals come in a wide array of
colors, textures, sizes, and shapes.
11. Trees — A tree is a busy place. It’s a living, growing plant and a
home and habitat for many different animals.
12. Water — Water in its three different states is present everywhere on
Earth. All living things need water to survive.
13. Working Together — Some animals, such as bees, ants, and termites,
work together to maintain a viable, adaptable society.

Take a Look I introduces students to Jeffrey, a city kid spending his
summer on a farm. Jeffrey’s guide in his science exploration is Kate, a
writer of science books for children. She takes viewers on visits to see
science in the real world and demonstrates a variety of experiments
teachers can perform with students in the classroom. The series’ use
extends beyond basic science into the areas of art, music, writing, and
research.
1. Plants — Kate shows Jeffrey the parts of a plant — the root, stem,
leaf, and flower — and their functions. We see what a plant needs to
live by visiting a greenhouse and by experimenting at home.
2. Flowers and Seeds — Jeffrey discovers why flowers have more to do
than just look pretty. We identify the different parts of flowers, then
watch as they bloom in spring.
3. Growing Things — We learn how some plants grow from rhizomes,
runners, and bulbs instead of seeds. We also see some unusual ways
seeds travel to new places and how to grow an avocado plant from a
seed.
4. Insects — At a beekeeping farm, Kate and Jeffrey see how honey is
made and identify the three kinds of bees in the hive. Children demonstrate how to catch and study insects.

SCIENCE
5. Eggs — Jeffrey learns about the parts of an egg by looking inside one,
and Kate’s egg chart shows what each part does. Experiments with
eggs show how strong they are, and how weak they can be!
6. Birds — Kate and Jeffrey examine the special shapes of birds’ beaks
and find out how they are suited to diet. We see how to make two
simple bird feeders.
7. Flight — Jeffrey learns more about birds’ bones, feathers, and wings
and how they are designed for flight. Also, we learn how to build a
high-flying kite.
8. Seasons — Visits to a marsh on a summer morning and a winter day
show Jeffrey and Kate the changes that the seasons bring.
9. Playground Science — Kate and Jeffrey mix fun and science while
learning about gravity and balance points at the playground. We see
how to make a mobile from string and straws.
10. Boats — Simple backyard experiments show why some objects float
and some sink. We look at many different types of boats and see how
to make a sailboat.
11. Mixtures — Kate shows Jeffrey the difference between suspension
and solution mixtures and ways to experiment with them at home. A
visit to a soda pop factory reveals how a popular solution is made.
12. Sun and Other Stars — Jeffrey learns about the sun and its relationship to other stars, as well as the sun’s effects on Earth. Kate explains
how a sundial works and how to build your own.
13. The Moon — Kate and Jeffrey study the four phases of the moon and
make a calendar to chart the moon’s progress. We watch astronauts
exploring the moon to learn more about its surface.
14. Rocks — Jeffrey identifies three types of rocks — sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous — and learns about their origins. We see how
pottery is made by visiting a china factory.
15. Crystals — Kate and Jeffrey examine the shapes of some common
crystals, then make their own sugar crystals. We trace the progress
of diamond crystals from the mine to their final forms in jewelry and
machines
16. Fossils — Jeffrey and Kate study fossils, some millions of years old,
to discover how they were made. We learn how the study of fossils
provides clues to Earth’s history
17. Wind — Kate makes a weather vane and shows Jeffrey how the wind
creates weather. She conducts some experiments to simulate the
movement of air currents, explaining how storms can start
18. Rain — Although rain dampens Jeffrey’s day, he finds out why the
water cycle is important for all living things
19. Waste — Jeffrey sees how garbage is part of the life cycle and plants
a “reverse garden” to watch how things decay. Kate stresses the
value of recycling
20. Energy — Kate uses moving toys to show Jeffrey the basic principles
of energy, the different forms it can take, and how it is found everywhere.

burrowing owl. Operation Owl is trying to protect this creature by
re-creating its natural habitat.
Coral Reef: Rain Forest of the Sea — The Christmas tree worm, the
parrot fish, and the hermit crab are three of many sea creatures that
find refuge and food in a coral reef.
Overrun with Rabbits – British settlers introduced rabbits to Australia
for sport, altering its wildlife forever. With few predators, the rabbits
overwhelmed large areas, and efforts to eradicate them have often
caused more harm than good.
Nature’s Foresters — To prepare for winter, squirrels, mice, and
chipmunks bury more nuts and seeds than they’ll be able to recover,
ensuring new seedlings in the spring.
Gray Jays: Nesting in the Snow — The gray jay’s ability to eat a
variety of foods and store provisions for winter allows it to thrive in
Algonquin Park all year round. Nest building and caring for young
are also observed.
Hippos: Killing the Land, Feeding the Lakes — In Uganda, hippos
enrich river and lake beds with their dung, but destroy important
grasses. Hippo social structure, care for the young, physical traits,
enemies, and territorial battles are examined.
Australia’s Plants: Surviving Down Under — Designed to survive,
Australia’s plants employ some unusual methods to ensure pollination. The trigger plant, the kangaroo’s paw, and the giant banksia are
among the plants featured.
The Plight of the Asian Elephant — As Thailand's forests diminish
and floods become more frequent, the Asian elephant is losing its
home.
Saving the Ferruginous Hawks — In Alberta, a research scientist
catches and bands ferruginous hawks to keep track of their growth
and change. Wrongly believing their livestock was being attacked,
ranchers used to shoot the hawks.
Cicadas: The 17-Year Invasion — In a Chicago suburb, residents
prepare for the invasion of millions of cicadas that emerge from the
ground every 17 years. The nymphs crawl out at night to the nearest
tree, where they transform themselves into adult cicadas.
The Success of the Sea Gull — The gull’s ability to eat almost anything and live almost anywhere has led to an overpopulation of this
tough scavenger, while other birds, not as adaptable, become
endangered.
Komodo Dragon: The Largest Lizard — Characterized by a large
mouth, dry skin, and sharp claws, the Komodo dragon's most drastic
feature is size. Identified only in 1912, the dragon has carried on its
hunting and breeding rituals on Komodo Island for centuries.
Raccoons: Wild in the City — With ravines, big trees, and old homes,
Toronto, Canada is an ideal environment for raccoons. While some
people lovingly feed the raccoons, others hire experts to remove
them from attics and chimneys.
Spreading the Pollen — Close-up footage shows how flowers are
designed to ensure that insects and birds are dusted with pollen as
they extract nectar.

visual, auditory, chemical, and tactile signals with specific looks at
the red fox and songbirds. A visit to a pond with a herpetologist
shows how frogs communicate.
4. Migration — the many reasons for migration, banding to track bird
migration, the migration of three raptors (broad-winged hawks, redtailed hawks, and snowy owls), and an annual hawk count.
5. Habitat — the artificial habitat at the Squam Lakes Natural Science
Center aviary. Featured is the common loon: we see its habitat and
join a biologist as she builds and floats a loon raft.
6. Marine Communities — how life in the ocean is organized in layers
and a visit to the Wells Reserve estuary to monitor soft shell clams
and green crab experiments.
7. Fresh Water Communities — life in lakes, streams, and wetlands, with
a special look at the snapping turtle.

A Kentucky Life special which focuses on the emigration of
Kentuckians to the nation of Liberia, West Africa. In the 1800's, before
and after the Civil War, around 15,000 freed American slaves went to
live in Africa. This video traces the ex-slaves journey from Kentucky in
America to Kentucky in Africa. As they arrived in Africa they formed
their own independent country, "Little America" as some called it.
They named their towns after American names such as "Kentucky in
Africa" and "Clay-Ashland". These towns are still there today and in
many ways they live like Americans. This program allows students to
experience first-hand this historical relationship by hearing the stories
of the actual people involved speak in their own words. People like
Abraham Lincoln, Henry Clay, Alfred Russell (a president of Liberia
from Kentucky) and many more.

TECHNOLOGY&MEDIA
Making Grimm Movies shows young people how to use resources and
locations in their own communities to produce inexpensive films.
Examples from the Brothers Grimm folktale films and interviews with
key production staff members guide students through the rigors of
translating tales into scripts and storyboards, working with teams of
actors and crew members, selecting locations, establishing continuity
during filming, and editing fragments into a coherent narrative. The
series does not simply tell students how to “read” media; it shows
them how to “write” it.

High school interns participating in Appalshop’s Appalachian Media
Institute show and talk about their own videos in Mountain Media.
Each program showcases one or more of the students’ films and the
young filmmakers answering one another’s questions on how they
chose and researched their topics, interview and production techniques, problems they encountered and how they solved them, and
collaboration and teamwork in making and editing a film.
DISTANCELEARNING
DISTANCE LEARNING
KET Distance Learning combines multimedia and
personal interation with teachers to bring courses
in humanities, physics, German, and Latin directly
to students in classrooms across Kentucky. These
courses challenge students with rigorous
academic work that strengthens their educational
credentials and prepares them for advanced
placement and college entrance exams.
Students watch lessons on videotapes, CD-ROMs,
or DVDs produced by KET Distance Learning. These
lessons include demonstrations,
performances, lectures, animation, and film clips
which present the material in a lively format that
complements most learning styles. Students participate in interactive learning activities through the
companion Web site or by using a CD-ROM,
putting these instructional practices to their best
uses.
Master teachers, who have a combined 82 years of
instructional experience, including 40 years of expertise in distance learning, lead the instruction. Unlike
many online courses, KET Distance Learning offers
personal interaction with experienced
educators who work closely with students throughout the course.
With proper supervision, the course materials may also be used with
small groups or full classes. All three courses use the same college
textbook. There is no lab component.
physics
Physics I
Physics principles at work in
everyday phenomena
Physics I provides students with an
appreciation and understanding of the
physical world while preparing them
for college courses and careers that
require an understanding of physics.
The guided workshop utilizes a CDROM with movies and animations,
labs, and videotaped lessons to give
students direct experience with the
phenomena and provides a self-paced
learning environment. Students discover physics principles themselves by
analyzing data taken from the movies
on the CD-ROM or from labs they conduct. The Internet is also used extensively in the course. This course may
be taken on a full-year schedule, or in a
block schedule, one-semester format.
AP Physics B, and Honors Physics
Preparation for college physics
AP Physics B, and Honors Physics all utilize a set of 27 CD-ROMs (or
4 DVDs) produced for the AP course. Multimedia-based instruction
includes lectures, demonstrations, and problem solving. Students
work independently with minimal need for supervision at their
school. The teacher is available via e-mail and phone when help is
needed. The teacher grades tests—homework is graded by computer.
AP Physics B is a rigorous preparation for the AP Physics B test, and
the Medical College Aptitude Test. It uses college-level syllabi, homework, and tests. (Full year.)
Honors Physics is for students who want to learn physics at a high
level, but who are not interested in the full AP Physics B program.
(Full year.)

an authentic picture of the Germanspeaking culture. Conversation
practice is provided via telephone
interaction with tutors. The course
is structured for high school 9th12th graders, but is available to
highly-motivated middle school 8th
graders. This course may be taken
on a full-year schedule, or in a block
schedule, one-semester format.
German III continues the multimedia approach to help students extend
the language skills learned in German I and II. In this accelerated
course, students will explore the topics relevant to today's Germanspeaking countries while expanding their vocabulary, and reviewing
and extending their language skills. The video series Fokus Deutsch
provides the core of the content. Conversation practice is provided via
telephones. Assignments and exercises integrate an interactive, multimedia approach to language learning. This course may be taken on a
full-year schedule, or in block schedule, one-semester format.

Humanities Program
History and appreciation of visual and
performing arts
Humanities through the Arts is a
survey of the development of
humankind as reflected in dance,
theater, visual arts, and music.
This high school class promotes an
understanding of the connections
between creative works and their
historical and cultural contexts, and
fosters an appreciation of all the
arts.
This is a one-credit, one-semester
course designed to be compatible
with block scheduling and to be
used in partnership with a certified classroom teacher. It makes
available a wide range of arts and
humanities resources that teachers
can use, not only as part of this class,
but in a variety of ways in the future.
Teachers registering for Humanities through the Arts will be able to use
their password to access Themes, a web-based resource that includes
projects suitable for students with a wide range of ability levels. This
resource organizes visual arts, theater, dance, music, and literary topics in three thematic strands:
The Natural World
Relationships
Search for Self
Humanities Connections is an innovative set of resources for students
in grades 7-12. These four productions consists of programs for both
teacher and student audiences and cover the basic elements of theater,
dance, music and visual arts. They are written in direct compliance
with the Kentucky Core Content for Arts and Humanities and National
Standards in the Arts. The accompanying Connections Web site provides an episode summary, vocabulary, ideas for projects, works consulted, and a teacher response form for each of the productions.

Latin Program
Language and Roman culture
Latin I students read Latin stories through which they also study the
vocabulary and structures of Latin. Learning Latin also improves
students’ ability to decode English words, their understanding of the
English language, and prepares them to study other world languages.
Mythology and an overview of Roman contributions to Western civilization are stressed. The study of Latin often improves one’s performance on achievement tests. The instruction follows the Ecce Romani
I text. The course is structured for high school 9th-12th graders, but is
available to highly-motivated middle school 7th or 8th graders. This
course may be taken on a full-year schedule, or in a block schedule,
one-semester format. Middle school students may also split this course
over the 7th and 8th grades.
Latin II is designed to increase student proficiency in reading and
speaking Latin. Additional vocabulary and grammatical structures,
cultural and historic materials, and excerpts from original Roman
authors all serve to enhance students’ understanding of the language and culture of the ancient Romans.
Students apply what they learn of the
ancients to better understand our world
as they see the many influences of Latin
in our lives—from our language to our
government. The course follows the
program set forth in the Ecce Romani II
text series. This course may be taken
on a full-year schedule, or in a block
schedule, one-semester format.
Latin III is a student directed class
taught via Internet. This class is
designed to increase vocabulary and
assist students in completion of the corpus of grammar required to read many
authentic Latin writings. Students
read selections from Caesar, Cicero,
Augustus, Pliny, Trajan and Eutropius.
Through the words of these Roman
authors, students increase their knowledge of the intricacies of the late Roman
Republic and early Roman Empire. Grammatical concepts and Latin
vocabulary are reinforced in the context of these selections. Agenda,
assignments, graded and non-graded activities, quizzes and tests are all
posted on the Internet. The text is Ecce Romani III with several ancillary
readings from Internet sites.
Internet access is required for the course.
Literature of the late Republic and early
Empire—AP Syllabus
Latin Literature is a student-directed class taught via Internet. Students
read authentic works from Latin authors, concentrating in particular
on the poems of Horace and Catullus, in preparation for the Advanced
Placement Latin Literature exam. Students interact with the teacher via
e-mail and telephone. Agenda, assignments, graded and non-graded
activities, quizzes and tests are all posted on the Internet.
Internet access is required for the course.
Visit the Web site at www.dl.ket.org or contact the instructor Ann
Denny at 1-800-333-9764 or [email protected]
All Latin courses have 160 lessons. Students can expect to spend a minimum
of 200 hours spread evenly over the academic cycle.

DISTANCELEARNING
German II continues the interactive multimedia approach to further
develop the basic skills of speaking, listening, writing, and reading
acquired in German I. The German video series Fokus Deutsch and
accompanying materials expose students to a variety of situations in
authentic cultural contexts. Conversation practice is provided via telephone interaction with tutors. This course may be taken on a full-year
schedule, or in a block schedule, one-semester format.
SECONDARY GED
Secondary GED Programming
Pre-GED
Grades 9-12
and
Recently, legislation was passed and a waiver was granted by the
American Council on Education that allows Secondary GED programs
to be established in Kentucky’s schools. The purpose of the program
is to provide a potential dropout student—who has the academic
capability to complete high school graduation requirements but who is
behind the cohort group in the credits needed to graduate—the opportunity to stay in school, prepare for, and obtain the GED certificate.

an innovative CD-ROM-based
professional development tool
produced in collaboration with
the Kentucky Department
of Education, is designed to
help secondary teachers whose students struggle to read and understand

Cross-indexed by subject—mathematics, science, social studies,
and English/language arts—and by reading strategy, More Reading
Strategies in Action features video clips of Kentucky teachers describing
and illustrating how they incorporate reading instruction into their
everyday teaching.
In interviews, the teachers explain why they teach certain strategies, how
they integrate the strategies into their lessons, and the successes they’ve
had helping students understand and retain written information.
Literary Strategies
in Action
KET and the Kentucky Department of Education jointly
present a new professional development resouce to support Kentucky's implementation of the national Reading

Reading Next (working title) will focus on the challenges
of teaching struggling readers in grades 4-12 and provide
video illustrations of a variety of strategies to meet a variety of student needs.
