Building Belief, Part 1

• 1974 ----- color ----- 28 min ----- 16mm
• Dorothy Heathcote works with a group of ten-year-olds who are "becoming a nation." Using a role-playing concept she is able to help students experience the process to internalize what they have learned through involvement. Part 1: Encourages an understanding of the words, "A nation is as strong as the spirit of the people who make it." She and the children share their first day in a hard and barren land, each identifying with a particular settler. Together they question, list strengths, share their "memories." Developing these memories into a chronicle broadens scope and lifts diction in the writing of their history.
