almost 60 minutes of vintage social
behavior.
The
1947 film, Are Your Popular answers the questions what is popularity,
what is it made of, how does a person get to be popular with lots of people
and still have a few close friends too. Watch and see what makes people like
one person and not another and find out that home, parents, and personality
all help boys and girls become popular. Excellent film, lots of different
scenarios. 9:52
The 1953 film, Let's Be Good Citizens at School, shows the
importance of being neat and careful and of helping in such ways as picking
up another's coat and making a new child feel he belongs to the group. Being
careful not to destroy what belongs to other people; playing safe; being
neat; and minding your own business are just some of things what makes a
good citizen at school. An excellent film for all children on the importance
of thinking of others and the consequences of their behavior. A must see.

The 1950 film, Am I Trustworthy is the story of Eddie Johnson, who
feels left out and is very disappointed he didn’t get the Treasurer position
he had hoped he would be nominated for. His best friend did and he is at a
loss as to why he didn’t get it and his friends didn’t find him trustworthy.
Eddie finds his dad at home fixing the light that he was supposed to fix and
when his dad asks him what is wrong he tells him, that many others were
nominated but not him and all because they were trustworthy and he wonders
why others don’t think of him as trustworthy. Eddie and his dad have a
wonderful discussion on what trustworthiness is and it’s importance in all
areas of our lives. Eddie does all the little things to become more
trustworthy, by keeping his word, playing fair, doing a good job, and to
being on time. A wonderful film and a must see for everyone at any age,
since in my humble opinion, many of us today are sorely lacking in many of
these skills. 10:21
The 1959, film, Beginning Responsibility: Lunchroom Manners
stars Phil, who after seeing a puppet show, with the very rude, clumsy and
bad mannered, puppet, Mr. Bungle, is determined not to become a Mr. Bungle.
We see Mr. Bungle in the beginning and end of the movie. Phil makes sure he
doesn’t become a Mr. Bungle, by washing his hands before he eats, he doesn’t
cut in line, makes sure he clears his place and a host of other things
that involves good manner. This film does have a number of great moments to
watch for, such as the amount of soap Phil uses while washing his hands,
Phil and his friends combing their non existent hair in the boy’s room, the
bologna in the school’s hot lunch, and check out the size of the piece of
cake Phil takes for dessert. This film is a classic and has a cult following
since it appeared on a Pee Wee Herman HBO special. While so many people
laugh at the older films on manners, behavior, obligations and other topics,
student teacher have used films from this era and then more modern films
with the same message as a comparison and surprise, surprise. The majority
chose the one made in
the 50s as getting the message across loud and clear. 9:31
The 1953 film, How Quiet Helps at School shows the difference a
noisy classroom and a more quiet classroom. how a class can study and work
better if the room is quiet. Demonstrates ways to study without interrupting
others. Indicates that noise does have a place on the playground. The film
starts out by showing us a typical, boisterous
grade school classroom, and our narrator asks: “You couldn't be proud to be
part of such a noisy room, could you?" We then go to Miss Bradley’s
classroom who tells us that keeping a classroom this quiet is good because
it's "like an office," and that "knowing when to be quiet is a part of
growing up. 10:11
The 1953 film, School Rules: How They Help Us discusses rules and
stresses the point that rules are ways of making life more pleasant, smooth
and safe. The film shows everyday scenes in which rules influence our
behavior, such at Betty telling her classmate John he cannot take out
another library book without returning the one that is overdue. Alvin
forgets to bring his gym shoes, and goes to the principal’s office. Proper
behavior while walking is also shown with taking your turn waiting at red
lights. Shows ways new students can learn rules, and why exceptions can't be
granted. Seeing the kids walk to school and the traffic cops brought back
memories of walking to my elementary school in Queens, and the great
crossing guard lady who was there to help us. This was an era where kids
walked not only to school but to the corner store, around town and their
neighborhood. 10:13
