FOCUSING ON CITIZENSHIP (Continued from page 274 process requires hours of initial research to locate suii able film sequences, patient working and re-working n script and rough cuts, and many difficult decisions rit;lii up to the release of distribution prints. We are still learn ing how to achieve the desired effects. But we are enough convinced of the value of tli' carefully controlled cuttings that we are beginning to mm up similar working relationships with other feature distributors. Through Films, Inc. we hope soon to make available excerpts from Wilson, Colonel Effingham's Raid, The Grapes of Wrath and others, to be accompanied by discussion filmstrips. Kinescope recordings of television programs may furnish more material. And for those areas and premises which cannot be covered by this method, we plan to coop3rate with Julien Bryan of International Film Foundation and Lewis Jacobs to producefilms and with others to make recordings. All of our selection and production of audio-visual materials is based upon needs expressed by cooperating teachers and upon principbs outlined by th2 now substantial findings of educational and communication research. The foundation of the Project's procedures, and of our use of audio-visual materials, is the Laboratory Practice. Audio-visual listings in the Materials Card File are designed to supplement and extend specific student activities as well as to relate to and increase the effectiveness of other kinds of materials. John Grierson, pioneer in audio-visual education for citizenship, has grown hoarse shouting and we have come to believe that citizenship demands action. Action grows out of ideas and emotions when they are presented in their true excitement. But for maximum effectiveness we must, in our production and use of audio-visual material, deal with problems rather than precepts. A visual accompaniment to "America the Beautiful" may be effective among certain students for certain purposes. But the urgency of our times means, if nothing else, that teachers, administrators, and producers of instructional materials of all sorts must be concerned with the doing as well as the being of a good citizen. Information must lead to valuable social attitudes and skills, and these in turn must lead to action. WOODWARD GOES TO TOWN (Continued from page 278) chairmen serve as audio-visual assistants in arranging for the use of films and other materials. The principal developed this plan with his staff and then furnished each teacher with a copy of the modus operandi and an organizational chart. Now the teachers know for sure when the audio-visual materials are coming and, through their department heads, they make arrangements for best use. Most teachers take pride in keeping abreast of the times, and Woodward High teachers are no exception. They have responded well to the audio-visual planning and are consequently doing more effective teaching. Teachers and students helped raise money to equip the audio-visual center with a new opaque projector, filmstrip projector with sound unit, motion picture projector, and screen.
