52 HOW TO USE THE EDUCATIONAL SOUND FILM of introduction is somewhat more advanced than the one in which students are told simply to watch for specific scenes to be discussed afterwards. In another class the teacher began a repeated showing of Beach and Sea Animals by asking her students to note the use and application of certain words and phrases in the lec- ture—"invertebrate," "dig himself in," "claw," "dart," "animals of the beach and sea." A somewhat similar ap- proach was that of the teacher who wished to focus attention upon a specific sequence. For the second showing of the film Work of Rivers she placed a diagram of the river's erosional action on the blackboard and asked the students to watch for that diagram and explanatory scenes in the picture. By way of introducing the film How Nature Protects Ani- mals in a week's unit on that topic a teacher asked what men must do before they can go safely into the jungle.

D. DRAMATIZATION LEADING INTO THE FILM SHOWING Dramatization is a favorite introductory activity for sound films in primary-grade classes. In an auditorium group of second-grade children in a platoon school, the teacher had planned to show the film The Frog, using a lecture modified for that level. To introduce the film showing she took the one hundred and fifty children on an imaginary trip to the woods. "Children, today we are going on a picnic. Oh, I know this is not the time of the year to go on a picnic but we are going to make believe that it is a lovely spring day and go out into the woods. Ready now, we're going to start on our hike." [The children formed a line and marched about the room.] "Isn't it a beautiful day, children? Let's see how many can find some-
