The cultural landscape of our nation's schools is rapidly changing. Immigrant students now
make up 16% of the school-aged population. As that number continues to grow, are we ready
to embrace the different languages, cultures, and religions that fill the hallways of our schools?
Teens in Between is a 90-minute documentary that takes a rare and intimate look at
five recent immigrant teens as they try to make it through a year of high school in
America. The film was shot entirely on location in and around Annandale High School in
Fairfax County, Virginia.
Created so teachers and students could better understand the struggles and challenges
that immigrant teens face, this video has created quite a buzz in Northern Virginia. The film
offers a variety of learning opportunities, including activity and discussion guides for
English and Social Studies classes (grades 7-Adult), ESOL classes (grades 9-Adult), and
Staff Training & Development, all with cue times for viewing shorter segments.
This video is now available for use in the classroom and beyond. To order your copy, call
1-800-343-5540, or fax purchase orders to 845-774-2945. For more information or to
access the accompanying activity and discussion guides, please visit our website at
www.mhznetworks.org/teensinbetween. Teacher guides will be available on our website
in December 2004.
