TECHNIQUES OF TEACHING WITH SOUND FILMS 67 8. The sound film Aphids 9. Stereopticon slides and filmslides from the Visual Education Depart- ment C. ORGANIZING ACTIVITIES FROM THE FILM SHOWING A first-grade class which had seen the picture Jack and Jill in Songland twice engaged in a very interesting study of the writing of notes. Notes "with and without stems" were drawn and discussed. The children studied the staff and the scale, and made their own tunes. The teacher reported that "books galore about elves were brought in, and the story of Jack and Jill was read and re-read. Not only was the little song from the picture learned and sung, but the children dramatized it. They drew pictures of incidents in the film and asked for frequent repetitions of the film." Other activi- ties which have been undertaken in connection with this film are the composition of original songs and the organization of a toy band. As an outgrowth of the film unit Beach and Sea Animals in a third grade, the pupils produced a play written by one of the children— Birthday Party of Pat, the Sea Cucumber. The program was completed by the recitation of jingles which the children had written about these animals. Another fol- low-up activity in this class involved oral composition. Large pictures of each of the beach and sea animals seen in the film were drawn on charts. Each child made up a story concern- ing a pictured animal and presented it before the rest of the class; it was significant that the children drew freely upon the vocabulary of the film. A well-selected film stimulates a variety of learning proj- ects. A third-grade teacher who used the sound film Animals of the Zoo found that the film could be made to contribute to such subjects as English and geography. After the film show- ing each child was asked to select three of the zoo animals and write a story for the English class telling what he had learned about them. The giraffe, the elephant, the monkey, and the polar bear proved most popular. As a related activity riddles
