This 1963 McGraw-Hill Films production guides teachers in selecting and using classroom films. Through excerpts, it explains five educational purposes—communicating information, changing attitudes, developing skills, stimulating interest, and raising problems—and links each to techniques such as documentary footage, dramatization, close-ups, special effects, and open-ended narratives.
