I COLORED SCHOOL I NEWS | In the final closing of last week’s article, it was stated that objective number 6 of the (Edlemton High School’s basic philosophy would be ex plained to you today. Objective number six: To use ef fectively audio-visual aids in instruc tion in keeping with the present physi cal facilities. This objective means that Edenton High School wishes that each student will have a thorough knowledge of subject matter taught before any audio-visual aids are shown or presented. The teacher should preview any audio-visual aids several times before they are pre sented to the class. After the audio visual aids are presented to the class, the teacher should make sure that each student sees and understands thoroughly by the similarity that is in keeping with the subject matter unit taught. , A thorough understanding of the audio-visual aids presented will be accomplished by the students taking part in a discussion about what they have seen and heard. The teacher is to direct these discussions. Afte. MB CHOWAN HERALD, EDEHTON. N. C. THURSDAY MARCH 12,1958. This Week’s Poem I By WILBORNE HARRELL 1 f CHALLENGE Fantastic jongleur with discordant lyre, To your mottled tunes I gleefully dance. Oh, make your notes on jangled strings enhance 'My happiness one whit—or lesson dire The joy that wells within my being. Pipe your song a dirge and melan choly, Make your lay a hymn to somber folly— Make it what thou wilt my heart is seeing,. My soul still feels and loves with common man. And in 'Step with nature I brightly tread 'Neath skies of blue on carpets green ly spread, Her voice my invocation, my paean. Even though life fiddles on broken strings I’ll dance to the tunes with a heart that sings. the audio-visual aids have been dis cussed and there are still some areas that are not clear, it should be shown to the class as many times that are necessary for all students to see the similarity of theory learned in com parison with audio-visual aids pre sented. Edenton High School wishes that each teacher learn how to use or operate the audio-visual aids that help make up the school’s program.
