TECHNIQUES OF TEACHING WITH SOUND FILMS 51 paratory to a showing of the film Choosing Your Vocation, boys in a slow Grade VI B class were told that they would be expected to write a short paragraph telling what qualities the boy in the picture lacked that made his first job last only a week. For a subsequent showing, another written composi- tion assignment focused their attention upon the qualities which finally landed the youthful hero in a suitable vocation.

For instance, a teacher using the film The Brass Choir gave two or three general questions to the class before the film was shown and at the same time assigned each pupil several things for which he was expected to watch. An interesting outcome of this tech- nique was the fact that after the assigned questions were answered satisfactorily many of the pupils proposed addi- tional questions which they wished to have answered. C. PREPARATORY TEACHING OF SPECIFIC FILM ELEMENTS In a sixth-grade class studying the film Sound Waves and Their Sources (essentially a high-school picture), the teacher drew attention to the city noise so familiar in the everyday environment of her students. The preliminary discussion centered around the fact that New York is a city of noises. On the blackboard a list of familiar city sounds was made and the pupils were requested to watch for the sources of these sounds as they occurred in the film. A junior high school teacher was introducing the film Choosing Your Vocation to a group of boys and girls. She began the lesson by getting the students to see the shades of meaning differentiating several terms commonly regarded as almost synonymous—"job," "occupation," and "vocation." By bringing out the "calling" idea of a vocation, she focused attention upon an important trend of thought occurring throughout the film—the idea that the individual's satisfac- tion in his work depends upon his choosing an occupation for which his interest and capacities fit him.
