Description of Program
|
|
Animal Atlas
maintains a high level of educational value. It has addressed issues
appropriate for both general public and the secondary classroom with a
presentation that included large numbers of clips, wide ranging
photography, fast-paced editing, and a non-condescending vocabulary
level. The programs in the latest series of Animal Atlas happily
maintain those strengths. Entertaining the viewer with
observation augments the educational integrity of its content. The
level of humor, like the level of vocabulary, is most suited for middle school (ages 13-16) with applications of topic that could extend into the higher grades. There are sound cues, visual elements, and a generatone that supports the delivery of educational material in a way that is appropriate for entertainment television. The data delivered and the content communicated is absolutely educational in nature and value but done in a way that would hold the attention of the target viewer.

Description of Program
|
|
The Animal Atlas
Classic collection maintains the series connection with educational
standards consistent with nationally published curriculum goals in the
natural sciences. The episode reviewed moves viewers though the
taxonomy of the animal kingdom with attention to defining
characteristics. References to the habitat and differentiation of the
animal kingdom complement the overview of the components of biological
life in the visible world. Example: The animal kingdom is one of the
three main taxonomic divisions in which organisms or life forms are
classified. The admirable education content is saved from the dryness
of a lecture by the ironic juxtaposition of the narrative and images:
in this case, a bored animal that the narrator cajoles. The music track is clearly intended to entertain.
