Recently I went to Durham NH where the Oyster River Elementary School is doing something—not to stop 1kids from watching TV but to change the way they watch it "It's clear that the Just Say 'No'—Pull the Plug on the TV Drug—approach doesnit work" the teacher Jack Callahan told me "We need to find ways to help them look at television critically" Oyster River has f ound a way and it's to turn these TV watchers into TV producers For the last two school years Callahan's students in a combined fourth- - and fifth-graclass have been making doccamumentaries Using a school-owne- d corder and editing equipment on loan from a parent the kids have made programs about computers in schools farming in their state and the local granite industry "There's a vast difference between watching—being the passive viewer— and producing which involves using creative energy" said Callahan And by making their own programs he added the children are starting to view what they see on the tube with a critical eye Today one of Callahan's video units is on its way to Manchester NH for a shoot at a textile mill "We have a sound person an interviewer and a camera person" Ainsley Parker a explained A veteran of last year's video project Kmsley served as a technical adviser The adults at Manchester Knitted Fashions smiled indulgently when the pint-size- d camera crew strode into their plant but the kids were all business "Let's shoot this" the camera operator Glauber Pitombeira said as they walked through a room stacked with bolts of cloth "That means footage that we can show with a voice-ove- r" Ainsley explained helpfully The crew worked diligently going from floor to floor then moved into an office to interview a plant official "So tell me" Nicholas Gray asked "why do you make clothes here instead de k 1 :' Al I11OW SAIII IDS FROM I - 41 1 tr---- - i Secretly:: Jimmy Rogers '1 1 1 Gee Whiz: Carla Thomas ' "t f I 1 Since I Met You Baby: Ivory Joe Hunter s — : Crying In the Rain: The Everly Brothers 'i sl I I My True Love: Jack Scott i' i V 1: ' ' ' You'll Lose a Good Thing: Barbara Lynn 1 1 F 4 t Sleepwalk:: Santo and Johnny I I ‘ There Goes My Baby: The Drifters ' -1 It's Only Make Believe: Conway Twitty " Only You: The Platters 019 Break It To Me Gently: Brenda Lee ortgea100fe 1' Gone:: Perlin Husky t4 I'm Leaving It Up To You: Dale and 1' 1 Where or When: Dion and the Belmonts f-It Helms My Special Angel: Bobby 4 04' I Tears on My Pillow: Little Anthony and the Imperials Last Date: Floyd Cramer Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow: The Shirelles emember those first parties first romances and those slow dances when Suspicion: Terry Stafford I Only Have Eyes for You: The Flamingos you held your date close and swayed to the music?

The adults seemed amazed that a fourth-gradcould ask such a sophisticated question The interview subject launched into a answer that would not have been out of place on the MacNeil Lehrer News Hour By the time the students left it was obvious they had made a big impression on their adult subjects Oyster River's video program is designed to complement traditional studies "In the first part of the year I concentrate on reading writing and arithmetic" Jack Callahan said "Then when those skills are where we want them to be we concentrate more on video" He suggests topics but the kids do all the groundwork spending long hours in the library doing research as well as to learn interviewing techniques The completed videos—which run seven to 10 minutes—are shown to the class and copies are deposited in the school libraries Although there are obvious rough spots the children have learned to use simple video techniques remarkably well They also are learning something even more valuable Callahan believes By making the documentaries and by spending time in class analyzing commercial and public TV programming his students begin to see how television works and how it tries to influence them I sat down with one group of students to see how much they had learned First we talked about a beer commercial they had watched "They tell you not to drink and drive" Kiley Johns observed "but they just spend a few seconds on that What they really want is for you to buy their beer" "They put it on when teenagers are watching" Andrea Blake noted Then the conversation shifted to the New Hampshire Presidential primary a few months before "They didn't give full reports on all the candidates just on two people" Andrea said "It was like the news shows were saying 'These are the best people—vote for one of them'" Scott Howard added The kids in Jack Callahan's class may still be watching a lot of TV but unlike many other Americans—children and adults alike—now they are beginning to know what they are seeing er well-reason- ed role-playi- ng MICHAEL RYAN PACE 10 JUNE 21 1992 PARADE At GAM |
