112 HOW TO USE THE EDUCATIONAL SOUND FILM 1. How did the use of the film contribute to the attainment of the pur- poses of the day's lesson? 2. How had the students been prepared for the showing? In what ways was the use of the film meeting learning needs and interests? Had the students been prepared to understand difficult new words or unfamiliar photographic devices? 3. How well did the discussion after the film showing uncover interest leads to activities or study? 4. Was the use of the sound film well integrated with other learning activi- ties proceeding in the class? Did the teacher make full use of film im- pressions in guiding the discussion after the showing? 5. Was the particular film used the best one which could have been selected for the purpose? Would another film have been better suited to the class, or for the presentation of the subject matter under dis- cussion? 6. Did the use of the film contribute something unique or time saving? Could the same purpose have been better served through the use of some other device—a field trip, a textbook assignment, an experiment? 7. How well was the mechanical part of the film showing handled? Was the picture clear? The room well ventilated? Projection managed with a minimum of time consumed? 8. Is the film being utilized to stimulate creative expression in writing, speaking, and art work? 9. Are there centers of interest on the fringe of the unit or of the lesson taught which might profitably be developed for individual students? 10. Should there be another showing of the same film? If so, when, and for what specific purposes? The supervisor should encourage the publication, even if only in mimeographed form, of outstanding lessons which his teachers have developed. Such recognition of professional excellence not only encourages the creative teacher, but helps to bring others up to a higher level of skill, by suggesting film uses and procedures which might not have occurred to them. Another stimulating device is to issue periodically a mimeo- graphed bulletin which may become a "Handbook of Film Teaching Methods." 7 This may be issued as a monthly bulle- 7 An illustration of this device is the Handbook for the Use of Visual Aids, printed in periodic revisions for the schools in Pittsburgh, Pa. The manual lists guiding principles for the use of visual aids, directions for ordering and returning materials, and a complete catalogue of the materials available.
