Hey. do we get a filmstrip today? Cool, a movie! Do we have to take notes? Usually the words that came from stu- dents when they saw a VCR or projector placed in their classroom were excited ones. Films were a rather rare occurence, and when they did appear, it was usually a shock to students. It ' s amazing when teachers show films, because they usually lecture. said sophomore Marni St. John. There ' s teachers on campus who be- lieve in showing movies frequently. I once had a teacher who would show us any movie, just to pass the time, said sophomore Priscilla Bourbonnais. Other teachers show them for a good cause. I try to show movies that benefit the class on information we can ' t cover in class. said Science teacher. Sue Boyette. Teachers have their own personal views of what they show. But the judgement really should be left up to those who have to sit through them — the students. I believe films can be great only when they help us on our tests. said sopho- more Edna Baradas. Though films may help students, do all of them listen? Movies give us a chance to make-up unfinished homework, and take a nap. said senior Robyn Reclusado. Although students use films as an es- cape goat or a dozer. some teachers use a very simple technique in getting their classes to listen to these films. The saying, Take notes, and we ' ll have a quiz afterwards usually wakes the class up. The only time my friends and I listen to films is when we have a quiz to take, said junior Jenny Noelte. Faculty should display films that inter- est their classes. Teachers should show more movies, but as long as they ' re not boring, said sophomore Jeff Manzi.
