Citizenship

By volunteers , MTN
July 03, 2008

South High students Jay Darrell, Saoirse Dungan, Ashley Kramka and Rachel McKennon find out what it takes to become a U.S. Citizen by interviewing people who have become citizens and others. They made the video with the help of the Minneapolis Television Network (MTN) as part of the Voices program.

MTN has been a partner with Minneapolis South High since 1987 in the Voices program. Voices is a social studies class at South, but a vital part of that class is the partnership with MTN. MTN trains students in the Voices class in camera and editing, and the students make documentaries and PSA’s on important social issues.

VOICES stands for Values, Options, Issues and ChoicEs in Society.

Advise and Dissent: Luis Pacheco

By Twin Cities teens , ThreeSixty

What would you like to tell president-elect Barack Obama? Advise and Dissent features opinions on what the new president should be thinking and doing. This opinion came from Your Turn — Teens advise the next president on what youth need.

Immigration: I want Barack Obama to open the border for three reasons. First, most of the Latinos want jobs. Second they want a life that Mexico can’t give us. Third, Latinos are not criminals; we just want a better life for our kids such as education, jobs, and things like that. — Luis Pacheco, 14, Harding High School MORE »
