Welcome to Film Clips for Character Education. © Film Clips Spirit of America

The following pages contain an exciting new approach to character education which reaches students through a medium for which they have a natural affinity: Hollywood movies. In this nine-part series, clips from the movies are used to assist teachers and students engage in reflection and discussion about character and moral action. At its core are clips from popular Hollywood movies that exemplify key character traits and issues surrounding moral development. The clips provide students with situations that relate to ‘real life’ experiences and draw them into a natural engagement with the subject. This approach not only stimulates students’ thinking on moral action and character, but enhances their engagement with the regular curriculum in the areas of Language Arts, Social Studies, and Fine Arts. In this guide you will find resources to help you create the greatest impact with Film Clips. Four clips are listed under each key character trait, for the purpose of illustrating some positive or negative aspect of the given trait and stimulating creative reflection and discussion. This study guide provides a great deal of flexibility for the teacher to use Film Clips most effectively. You will want to use your discretion regarding the appropriateness of both the clips and the suggested activities to the age as well as the intellectual and emotional skill levels of your students. With this in mind, this study guide can help you take a fresh approach to character education, using the letters F-I-L-M to summarize the appropriate steps:

 Fitting clips to lesson plans and standards A list of key education standards covered by the clips and activities suggested in this guide is available on pages 20-24.

Creating a Lesson Plan:

The teacher can choose to create one 45–50 minute class session, by showing all four clips under a key theme, pausing after each for reaction and discussion (25–30 minutes), and then doing one of the following exercises (15–20 minutes). Alternatively, the teacher can create four 30 minute class sessions by showing one clip, pausing for reaction and discussion (10–15 minutes), and doing one of the following exercises (15–20 minutes).

 Introducing clips to students. Pages 5-16

As you prepare to show a film clip, you can introduce it with a plot synopsis. This gives students who have not previously seen the movie from which the clip is taken some context for understanding the clip. Pause the DVD after the on-screen teaser question following the clip.

 Listening to students discuss the clips.

Pages 5-16 The on-screen teaser question following a film clip is designed to initiate thoughtful discussion. The follow-up “Going Deeper” questions should encourage further personal exploration. These questions can be addressed in the context of the whole class, or by splitting the class into small groups and then having the groups report back to the larger class after they have explored their thoughts and opinions, or through 4

a written exercise to be handed in later. The quotations help students build higher order thinking skills, foster analysis of the quotation and relate the film clip to their own lives and the topics they are discovering in class.

 Moving students to action. Pages 17-20

Suggested activities to engage the students more deeply with the issues raised by the film clips.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” —Theodore Roosevelt “That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.” —William J.

The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” —Calvin Coolidge

 Moving students to action.

Suggested activities to engage the students more deeply with the issues raised by the film clips.

Character “Word Wall”

A “word wall” can help your students develop/build their vocabulary in terms of meaning, context, and relevance. The words below come directly from the video clips or the question prompt at the end of each clip. Developing a word wall is a great way to introduce key vocabulary terms at the beginning of a unit or piece by piece as your class explores a unit of study. Honor Pride Citizen Intention

Sacrifice

Community

Integrity

Self-esteem Diversity

Hero

Character

Perseverance

Utilizing Quotes

Use as journal starters and essay prompts. A tool to strengthen student writing, as in supporting a line of thought expressed by the writer. Develop analytical thinking. Quotes are character-based in nature which is common among many state writing tests, the SAT, and many analytical writing prompts. Connect concepts across multiple curricula. Homework discussion starters with parents or guardians. Encourage students to share their own favorite maxim (one 17

they have heard or read before, one passed down as a family favorite, or one used often in class) and reflect upon its meaning and context. Inspire students, teams, or collaborative pairs to develop their own personal “Code of Character” or “team motto” based on one of the quotes. Language Arts: Scribe students’ favorite maxims or motto on the board and have the class interpret it’s meaning. This can then lead to a grammatical analysis of the quote where the students can edit the student’s rendition of the quote for spelling, punctuation, tense and part of speech. History and Social Studies: Have students research or discover who the author of the quote is, where the author came from and when and where the quote may have been said. Look for any special context or history behind the quote. Select a classroom “Quote of the Week” that provides a theme for daily assignments, possibly taken from one of the suggestions above. As students learn and analyze more quotes, they provide great material to use for extra credit questions and assignments. This is an excellent way to keep the quotes fresh and in the mind of the students.

Idea Starters!

1. Have students identify situations where there are everyday opportunities to exhibit honor. 2. As a class write an “Honor Code” for your classroom. Have students help create the code and then sign it. Post in the front of the room and include on all student work. 3. Explore Service Learning and have your students work in 18

groups, or as one whole class come up with a service learning project that relates to anti-bullying or a monthly character trait at your school. 4. Adopt a US soldier as a pen pal for your class, thanking them for the way they are serving you and your country. 5. Celebrate a Classmate activity: Have your students write one nice thing about someone in class who is not necessarily their best friend. Do this three days in a row (or once weekly for three weeks), each time having them write about someone different. Each time read out what was written. 6. Give each student a sheet of paper with the name of every classmate on it. Then next to each name, have your students write one positive word or adjective that describes each person. Once everyone is done collect and compile the list. Make individualized bookmarks for each student and under his/her name at the top of the book mark, write down the list of words that were created for them. 7. Role play different scenarios from each movie, where applicable. Students can demonstrate the right way and wrong way to deal with challenges and adversity. 8. As a class, analyze Bill Clinton’s quote (under Spirit of America) by brainstorming all the things wrong with America and all things great about America. Then draw connecting the positives that could help repair the negatives. (Compare and contrast) 9. Have students list all the ways they have ever failed or come up short in a task or challenge. Ask them how they handled or dealt with that failure, and then as a group discuss other possible ways to deal with those personal challenges! 10. Challenge each student to talk to/ or even eat lunch with, three students that they do not normally speak to or eat with. At the end of the month ask them how that went. 19

11. Sponsor a “Laws of Life” or “Foundations for Life” Essay contest in your school or just for your class, based on the themes in Episode 5. (See, www.LawsofLife.org or http:// charactercounts.org/programs/FFL/index.html ) 12. “Team 2 Care”: Have a school team or form a team of your own to adopt your school’s Special Olympians, as they prepare for their own Olympics throughout your school year. Volunteer to coach, cheer, and lend a hand in any way possible to these schoolmates you might not know as well as some others.

Keeping a Diary

The students can be asked to keep a diary with 27 entries in which they will record their favorite examples of the character trait they saw demonstrated in the clips and examples of how they have or have not shown this character trait in their own lives. Also included are guides to other resources to help you to use these film clips most effectively in your classroom. We hope that this study guide will stimulate your own creativity to help your students grow in their abilities for moral reflection and action.
