In the Mix is a newsmagazine for teens by teens on special topics, claiming to be “both hip and responsible.” For this half-hour episode, students around the country filmed great teachers at work. In Utah, teachers use performing arts to make poetry come alive. In Oakland, the creative use of interactive teaching transforms a classroom. And students show that even French can become fun with the right teacher. The teen filmmakers comment on their passion for learning, and how just one teacher can make a difference.
