Educational goals

.Since the show's inception, other instructional goals have been basic life skills, such as how to cross the street safely, proper hygiene, healthy eating habits, and social skills; in addition, real-world situations are taught, such as death, divorce, pregnancy and birth, adoption, and even all of the human emotions such as happiness, love, anger, fear, sadness, and hatred.^ Your insight would be very helpful in terms of how the show has changed and if it still gives great importance to the whole family beyond blood ties (like in "Follow that Bird" Maria gives a speech in the end about how it doesnt matter if youre a grouch or a bird etc they all support each other on the street and they are ultimately his "real" family).

Although the story, which occurred during what the producers called "the street scenes", usually lasted about ten-to-twelve minutes in length, it would take forty-five minutes to tell it.^[24]^[25]^{[note .2]} It was decided, by recommendation of child psychologists, that the Street scenes, which CTW researcher Edward Palmer called "the glue" that "pulled the show together",^[26] would never feature the human actors and Muppets together because they were concerned it would confuse and mislead young children.^ To show Sesame Street 's broad reach, CTW touts a Westat survey suggesting at 77 percent of all American preschoolers, including 87 percent of black children and 79 percent of Hispanic, watch the show once a week or more.

They were never intended for broadcast. .Instead, they were presented to preschoolers in 60 homes throughout Philadelphia in July 1969. The results were "generally very positive",^[27] but they found that although children attended to the shows during the Muppet segments, their interest was lost during the "Street" segments.^ Sesame Street, compared to other children’s shows is extremely valuable in that it follows the main rules of language acquisition (I teach language at university level), and is brilliant in its teaching techniques.

Dann's appointment resulted in television critic Marvin Kitman, referring to the May 1970 Mississippi state commission decision to ban the show,^[83] stating, "After he [Dann] sells [Sesame Street] in Russia and Czechoslovakia, he might try Mississippi, where it is considered too controversial for educational TV".^[115] By summer 1970, Dann had made the first international agreements for what CTW came to call "co-productions".

The earliest international versions were what CTW vice-president Charlotte Cole called "fairly simple",^[114] consisting of dubbed versions of the show with local language voice-overs and instructional cutaways. Dubbed versions of the show continued to be produced if the country's needs and resources warranted it.^[116] .Eventually a flexible model, which came to be called "the CTW model",^[114] was developed for independently produced preschool television shows, based upon Sesame Street, created in other countries.^ I loved the show sesame street as a kid.

^ When 130 episodes were made each season, about 2,400 segments had to be produced.
^ At first, the same segment was repeated daily for a week, but this practice was dropped at the end of the first season of "Elmo's World".
^ See Lesser & Schneider, pp. 31-34 for a complete list of curriculum topics for seasons 1-30.

Simple English

Sesame Street is a children's television series with human actors and puppets that are called Muppets. The show deals with issues such as music, song, alphabet, numbers, and teaching children basics in learning. Part of the profits, go to an international project for children's schools.

It has been on TV since 1969. Jim Henson made the Muppets, and a lot of writers and puppeteers worked together to make the show. The Muppets were used afterwards in a different show called The Muppet Show. Sesame Street has been on TV in 120 countries all over the world. More than 4000 episodes have been made over 40 seasons.

The Muppets

Big Bird is a very tall yellow bird. His best friend is Mr. Snuffleupagus who looks like a mammoth.
Oscar the Grouch lives in a garbage can with his pet worm Slimey and his pet elephant Fluffy. He is always in a bad mood and he loves everything that other people hate: mud, dirt, etc.
Bert and Ernie are two roommates. Ernie is more active and always ready to play a game or make a mess. Bert is an often boring grouch who likes to read; he likes things to be clean, neat and loves pigeons.
Cookie Monster eats large amounts of cookies.
Elmo is a red furred monster and lives with his goldfish named Dorothy.

There are three new muppets for Sesame Street. One is a girl fairy named Abby Cadabby. Another is Murray, and his lamb named Ovajita. Not only Muppets play in the show but also human actors who live with the Muppets.
