Throughout last year s spring semester, Linden s students trekked along the Haw River from Reidsville near its source, where an older city sewage system at the time was failing to meet state clean water standards, to Jordan Lake where the Haw River meets New Hope Creek. Students interviewed the mayors of Reidsville and Cary, towns that receive most of their water from the Haw River Basin. We hope our documentary highlights the threatened status of the Haw so that North Carolina residents can save this once beautiful treasure. Students in the multimedia class who produced the Haw River web page are Dan Lucas, Dallas Smith, J nie Woosley, and Lindsay Kincaid. In addition to being an educational resource for Dr. Linden s Journalism class, the I.Q. series is used as an educational resource in classrooms around the state.
Students examine important current events and study the science and technology behind the stories.
