Ready to pop behind-the-scenes of the television you watch, magazines you read, music you listen to and websites you visit? Our "studios" let you take the reins. Create. Comment. Control. Explore your media, your way! This Web site for 'tween-age girls promotes media literacy and gives girls a chance to create music, edit a TV show, publish a magazine and reflect on the role of digital media in their lives. This Web site and CD-ROM celebrate Stax soul music of the 1960s and 70s with lively interactives and lesson plans. "The Stax Rivers" interactive explores musical influences on the signature Stax style, letting you trace stylistic influences in some of Stax's biggest hits. "Mix a Song in the Stax Studio" (pictured, CD-ROM only) lets you layer instrumental tracks to arrange your own soul song. One sample lesson is available on the Web site, with a complete five-lesson unit on soul music for middle school students on the CD. There are a thousand stories on the amazing reef, each more incredible than the last. Stories of life, friendship, hunger and survival. Which story will you tell? In this movie-making interactive, you can make an animated film about life on a coral reef. Choose an exciting story, cast colorful characters, and animate the movie yourself. Then add music and titles to complete your movie. You can even keep it by downloading it to your own computer. ||
