CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES In the everyday classrooms of Fordson. discussion groups were formed. current events were thoroughly studied. and the students in general became interested in the problems of the wartime and postwar world. Out of discussions like this. conclusions were drawn which better enabled the pupils to see what lay 'behind the DCIS'- Boys and girls in the different social science classes were encouraged to contribute clip- pings and photographs pretain- ing to current events and were then tested on the contents of their bulletin boards.
