Horry County Schools announces its seventh season of Homework TV on the educational access channel, TV 12, beginning Tuesday, September 18. This live, interactive, call-in show is designed to provide the students of Horry County with some extra help with their mathematics and English language arts homework assignments. The show is on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 5-7 p.m. during the regular school year. The first hour is dedicated to mathematics and the second hour follows with English language arts. Anyone with a homework question – a student or parent – can call Homework TV at 488-6797 during program hours. The host teacher will then attempt to help the caller not only answer the question, but will also reinforce the strategies and lessons taught. Homework TV is designed as a teaching and tutoring aide for middle school students of Horry County, although students from all grade levels have called in with questions. If there are no calls, the teacher will present a middle school level, standards-based lesson. Homework TV teacher hosts for 2007-2008 are as follows: - Mathematics, 5- 6 p.m., Micah Freeman, Forestbrook Middle School; Michael Oerther, Ocean Bay Middle School; and Meredith Baldwin, Early College High School.
- English Language Arts, 6-7 p.m., Angie Richardson, Black Water Middle School; Marion Touzel, Ocean Bay Middle School; and Jean Burden, Loris Middle School.
The educational access channel is located on Channel 12 for subscribers of cable services from Horry Telephone Cooperative, Inc., and for some subscribers of Time Warner Cable. |
