THE MAGIC LOOKING GLASS
of the skit.
The class

Today we are going to perform a bit of magic right here in class. I am able
to show you a magic looking glass. As we look into this magic looking glass
perhaps you will see yourself as others see you. Wait a minute, I am begin-
ning to have a vision right now. Yes, it looks like old faithful complaining
Carol. I wonder what her main complaints are this morning. Let's listen.
COMPLAINING CAROL: I am so tired this morning. My mother made me wash dishes last
night and my hands are still rough. That science teacher gave me 2 pages
extra work for the days I missed. That is just terrible. I hate the color
of the sky and there is too much sand in my shoes. I wish these classrooms
weren't so cold. Aren't those school lunches terrible? I just hate every
thing.
Carol really thinks she has problems, doesn't she? Did any of you see yourself
in Carol? Sometimes we feel that we need to complain about a problem but do
you complain all the time? Better you should be like Cheerful Charlene. As we
re-enter our magic world, we find Charlene knocking on the door of her grand-
mother's house. Let's see if she is happy or sad today.
CHEERFUL CHARLENE: (Scene opens as Charlene knocks on the door of her grandmother's
house. Her grandmother is inside rocking and knitting.)
Gram:

Come in.
Hi Grams, I just thought I'd drop by and say hello on my way home
from school. I can't stay long though as I must get home and
babysit for my little brother Tommy. Mother is going to the
beauty shop.
It was thoughtful of you to come by Charlene. Seeing your bright
smiling face cheers me up. Don't you dislike babysitting after
a hard day at school?
Well, there are other things I could do but I know mom feels so
much better with her hair fixed. I think Tommy enjoys going for
a walk with me, too. I had better go. I'll see you tomorrow
after school.
Good by Charlene. My that little visit gave me a lift. Such a
thoughtful girl.
There is quite a difference between Carol and Charlene. Do you accept
responsibilities and tasks as cheerfully as Charlene or are you an unhappy
grumbler? The magic looking glass seems to be pointing on Conceited
Clarence now. It looks like we might catch him just before he enters
Science class. Hey, Clarence, how are things going?

FRIENDLY FREDDY: Hi,There! You are the new girl in school, aren't you? We are glad
to meet a new student. You are from Georgia,aren't you? Someone told me
you play the piano well. Perhaps you could join our band. Have you met
all your.teachers yet? Why don't you walk with me to math and I'll intro-
duce you to some of the kids. (Choose a girl to be the new student, student
simply responds with yes and no to the questions asked.)
My magic mirror is zeroing in on the juicy gossip of the week in the gossip
headquarters, Gossiping Gertrude's bedroom. Gossiping Gertrude is very
bad about spreading rumors. Let's listen and see what she is saying on the
telephone to Mary.
GERTRUDE: (Scene opens as Gertrude sits on the bed and talks on the telephone.)
Mary, have I got some news for you. Frieda Frankinstein got a real whipping
by her mother after coming home late last Saturday night. Now don't tell
anyone because Frieda made me promise not to tell anyone. I heard a rumor
that' Mr. Anderson's class in P.E. really ran all over him and half of them
went to the store for icee's. I guess I don't have anymore news. What's
that? (Pause) You failed your last English Exam! Gee, that is really
tough. Well, so long, I've got to go. (Hangs up the phone) Hey, I can't
wait to talk to Jane to tell herabout MaryA failing her English test.
So that's the latest scoop. If you saw yourself in the magic mirror, think
how easily you could lose friends being like Gossiping Gertrude. Do you think
Mary will remain her friend after she tells everyone about her failing her
English exam? I feel so sorry for people that are so shy like poor Susan.
Watch Susan through the magic mirror and see how it is like to be shy. The
scene opens in the guidance office. Mr. Rayburn, the guidance director is
talking with Susan. Let's listen in.
Appendix #5
(Continued)
CLARENCE: I've got all A's so far in science and I am doing fabulous work in
all my other classes, too. My teachers really like me. They think I am so
smart. Do you like my new suede jacket? It cost $50. I notice lots of girls
looking at me. Do you like P.E.? That's one thing about me. I can usually
win most games I play. Got to go now, be careful, don't touch my jacket.
Wow, I guess we know what Clarence thinks of himself. I mean, we all know
you have to like yourself but he goes overboard. I wonder why he needs to
brag like that. Do you suppose he really feels insecure and unloved? I
hope none of you out there saw yourself that time. It wasn't a very nice
reflection. Wait a minute, I think I see Sarcastic Sarah coming up to the
Magic Looking Glass. Boy, she can say some pretty mean things. I guess I
had better speak to her. "Sarah, how are you today?"
SARAH: Amy, that is such a pretty dress you have on today. Isn't that the
same dress you wore a couple times last week? Wow, look at that teacher's
hair. I guess she really thinks she is a fashion plate. Did you hear the
way Marie answered that question, (mimic fashion) "Yes, Ma'am. I'll do that
right away,Ma'am." People make me sick.
People like that make me so angry. I think that if I saw Sarcastic Sarah
in my mirror, I would think right away how I could change my personality.
I don't think Sarah has many friends. Here comes someone that just looks
friendly. I think his name is Freddy. Friendly Freddy would be a good
name for him.

SHY SUE: (Stage--a man sitting behind a desk and a young girl in front of the desk.
Her head is down so it is difficult to see her face.)
Mr. Rayburn: Sue, I asked you to come to me so we could talk about the problem
you have of being so shy.
Susan: (lifting her head just a little) I don't want people to laugh
at me. I don't read very well and I don't speak English too
well either.
Mr. Rayburn: Are you very quiet at home also,Susan?
Susan: No, I know everyone there. They won't laugh at me. I have to
take care of my little brothers and sisters.
Mr. Rayburn: Why don't you read lots of stories to your brothers and sisters.
In this way you could improve both your English and your reading
ability. Do you have any special interests, Susan?
Susan: Well, I do a lot of crocheting at home.
Mr. Rayburn: The home economics teacher has a needle work club before school
every morning. Perhaps if you joined the club you would meet
some people with the same interests as you. Oh, and another
thing,Susan, you have such pretty brown eyes. Don't be afraid
to look at other people and smile---
Susan: Thank you very much for the advice,Mr. Rayburn. I'll ask my
mother if I can join that club.
NARRATOR:
TALKER TINA
NARRATOR:
I think now Sue realizes that she has a lot to be proud of and that people
will respect her for being brave and speaking out. Perhaps that new club
will help her. Talker Tina is the last personality our magic mirror will
show. She is certainly not shy, oh no, she talks too much. Just listen.
That's all you can do with Tina around.
: (Scene opens with Tina and Rachael sitting in the lunchroom eating lunch.)
Tina: I'm sorry we don't have a longer lunch period. I like to take time
to enjoy my meal. You know I used to hate green beans until one
day I was so hungry that even green beans tasted good. I guess I
have liked them ever since.
Rachael: I like most vegetables. My mother------
Tina: (Interupting Rachael) I guess I'll eat about anything now. Boy,
these hamburgers are good. I wonder what science class will be
like today.
Rachael: They did do experiments second period? I think they made------
Tina: I wonder what dress I should wear tomorrow. I guess my blue one.
Say did I ever tell you the story of the time my mother saw a
mouse in the kitchen. Well, it was so funny----------
A's we leave Tina the talker, we leave her still talking. Chances are Rachael
will be finding a new friend soon. A new friend that will be interested in
listening to her as well as talking about herself. Well, folks, I'm losing
my magical powers. The magic mirrors have shown us all the personalities they
are going to for today. Remember it is never too late to change poor person-
ality characteristics into good characteristics. We hope you enjoyed our
magic show.

Appendix #9
Role Playing
I have tried all kinds of role playing in the past. Some worked; and some did not.
I have found that I am too dependent on the personal showmanship of one or two members
if I do not structure my role playing. I have also found that indivdiuals will not
"put out" if they feel unsafe (such as feeling afraid the class will make fun of them
for acting out a problem which was actually occurring in their own home). To better
my chances when counting on a role-play session, I'll go through a process with you and
see if you might agree that it could lead to an involving demonstration, guard against
the pitfalls I suggested, and provide a learning experience whereby the whole class can
observe dynamics and check receptions at the same time.
Structured Role Playing:
1. Ask for volunteers to play a father, mother, brother and sister (or any
other combination which you might wish to demonstrate).
2. Bring your volunteers together in the center of the room.
3. Ask your family to decide on a family name. They should make the decision
together and outloud. Mark it on the blackboard.
4. Ask each member to decide on his or her own first name, but to think through
to a decision aloud. Mark each decision on the blackboard.
5. Ask each member to decide on his respective age. Again have each of them
think through to a decision aloud. Write each age on the blackboard next
to the appropriate name. Please do not insist that there be any correspon-
dence between ages, whatever the volunteer chooses that is his age for the
role play.
6. Now set the characters. I have done this in one of two ways.
a) I ask another class member to picture himself as either the father or the
mother and to then call me, a family counselor, to seek help for the family.
As though in a phone conversation with this class member, I probe for a
statement of the family problem until I feel that the plot is set. I then
switch back to the "family" and let them act out the dynamics of this plot
with me as a reflective counselor. I try to help the family by making
sure that each member has a chance to state the situation as he feels it,
but in general I talk little. The telephoned plot is only a beginning.
The "family" elaborates and modifies it in any way the individual members
choose to by their actions.
b) If I have a specific item that I wish to demonstrate through role play,
I take the place of the caller as before. If I am the caller calling a
counselor, then it is best for me not to take the role of family counselor.
If, on the other hand, I wish to demonstrate the dynamics of a family
council I might take the part of mother or father suggesting a council to
the other partner elaborating my reasons as much as I feel necessary to
set the stage. It is important for the caller to act like he really is
the mother or father. This encourages the volunteer "family" to enter
into the role play immediately.
Appendix #9 (Cont')
7. Allow the role play to continue for as long a time as seems necessary.
Twenty minutes or so usually is enough time to begin to bring dynamics to
a head. Use your own judgment.
8. I then use one of two techniques for drawing benefit from the role play.
a) Once it is completed I open the situation to the class for general
discussion.
b) Once the volunteer "family" has begun to demonstrate its dynamics,
especially if a family council is in progress, I allow any member of
the class, who feels like he can assist, either to come to take the
place of one of the "family" members or to stand behind one of the
members and openly state what he thinks that family member is thinking.
I make sure that a class member who wants to help actually gets up and
moves into place. I do not allow them to shout out from their seats.
Using this method it seems better to allow a longer time to have the
problem worked through. But in any case, when the role play has bogged
down or the end of the period is approaching, I stop the role play
activity to allow open class discussion.
The profit in using role play is the discussion it engenders and the involve-
ment it produces. Role play of this type also allows students to work through
solutions to puzzles that arise and helps them learn from one another. I
would never force role playing on a class. The most a teacher can do is sug-
gest it and invite student participation.
Appendix #10
UNDERSTANDING PARENTS
In the columns headed "Yes" "No" and "Sometimes" place a check mark where it really

Personality Analysis Chart
by Color
REDRANGE YELLOW
You have strong desires
and a lust for sport,
action, and excitement.
Your passions are more
on a physical plane.
For you, life must be
packed with experience.
You tend to be fickle
with little true affec-
tion. You are basically
an optimist, but when
you do feel despair,
you are quite dramatic
about it. You have a
strong mind, vital ideas,
and a stout heart, but
you lack the patience
to follow thru. It is
your nature tobe impul-
sive, and you lack
finesse. Control your-
self, manage your
impulses, and you are
one to really go places.
GREEN
You find life exciting.
You have a democratic
spirit and faith and
confidence that life is
really worth living.
You are the good neigh-
bor, the home owner,
the joiner, the agree-
able bridge partner,
the coupon clipper.
You read the popular
books and see the good
shows. You are mer-
cenary but not stingy.
You are sincere and
wholesome. You never
forget a friend. You
tend to lack the power
of concentration. You
are inclined to be
modest and lack
aggressiveness.
You are a person to be
envied. You love people
and have a big heart and
generous mind. You have
a desire for the fine
things in life and the
makings of a real gour-
met. You difer to others
in order to be agreeable
and well liked. You can
handle people and sit-
uations, they are a
specialty with you. You
are inclined to be a
jack-of-all-trades and
master of none. Details
annoy you--what you need
is concentration. You
are well liked by people
and selling is one of
our big talents.
BLUE
You are conservative and
sensitive and have control
of your passions and
enthusiasm. You are bothered
by your conscience if you
sin, but you sin just the
same. You are a good student
and display sound judgement
and a sense of responsibility.
You are inclined to make
mountains out of mole hills.
You are shrewd and conscien-
tious, but cautious in dress
and action. Stupidity annoys
you--so does superior intel-
ligence. You are not as
tolerant as you could be.
You are skeptical and want
to be sure of yourself
before you take action.
You are a philosopher and
a self-seeker. You are able
to master problems, large
or small. You presume to
be an intellectual whether
you are or not. You have
a temper but it is well
controlled. You are a
natural organizer and
reformer. You are a
deep thinker but are in-
clined to stick to your
ideas, right or wrong.
Although your feeling
on a matter may be one of
rare sophistication and
courage, you are actually
quite timid in reality.
It would be well for you
to give in to your emotions
and learn what it means to
feel as well as to think.
PURPLE
You are either profound or
try very hard to appear
profound. Purple goes
with an intelligent and
philosophical mind, but
this talent seldom does
any good, for you are in-
clined to keep this wisdom
to yourself. You must
guard against appearing
vain or conceited. You are
a mystery to others as well
as to yourself. There is
much depth to you, but
little open frankness or
warm friendliness. You
possess a true sense of
values and display consid-
erable charm. Your acquaint-
ances will have a better
opinion of you than your
family or close friends.

"SNACKS"
Snacks help one work more efficiently because they give a pick-up
in energy. Nutritious snacks satisfy the appetite and provide part
of the food the body needs; but snacks are no substitute for three
regular, balanced meals a day. One must eat nutritious foods if he
wants to be healthy and attractive.
After-School Snacks: Milk drinks--(especially those made with dried
milk)--punch, simple sandwiches, raw vegetables, cookies and leftovers
are good.
TV Snacks: Snacks that can be eaten with the fingers are best while
watching TV. Avoid juicy foods, and foods that crumble and are dif-
ficult to eat. Dips, sandwiches, fruit, raw vegetables, and cookies
are easily served and eaten.
Ideas for Snacks: A tart drink--such as lemonade, with either cakes
or ice cream or cookies. A sweet drink often tastes better with
sandwiches and dips, rather than something sweet. Most everyone likes
crisp food such as potato chips, sugar coated cereals, crackers or
raw vegetables. Some suggestions:
Cookies and fruit juice or punch
Sandwiches and milk drink
Sandwiches, fruit and milk
Sandwiches, raw vegetables, cookies, and milk
Fruit bread, and hot drink
Hot soup, crackers, and milk
Buttered toast or toasted muffins, and a hot milk drink
Dips, chips or crackers and milk
Sugar coated cereals and milk
Rules for Snacks: Good snacks include milk, fruits, raw vegetables
and cereals. Have a set snack time that will not interfere with
your meals. Snakes can be expensive. Consider cost when planning.
Consider nutritious snacks for the family as well as one's self.

TEAM DECISION-MAKING BY CONSENSUS
Instructions: This is an exercise in group decision-making. Your team is
to employ a method of Group Consensus in reaching its decision. This means
that the listing of each of the 10 items must be agreed upon by each group
member before it becomes a part of the group decision. Consensus is difficult
to reach. Therefore, not every ranking will meet with everyone's complete
approval. Try, as a group, to make each ranking one with which group members
can at least partially agree. Here are some guidelines to use in reaching
consensus:
1. Avoid arguing your own individual judgements. Approach the task
on basis of logic.
2. Avoid changing your mind only in order to reach agreement and avoid
conflict. Support only solutions with which you are able to agree.
3. Avoid "conflict-reducing" techniques such as majority vote, averaging
or trading in reaching decisions.
4. View differences of opinion as helpful rather than as a hinderance in
decision-making.
5. Do not vote on an item. You are to determine the rank order of the
items by consensus rather than by majority rule.
On the "Group Summary Sheet" place the individual rankings made earlier in each
group member. Take as much time as you need in reaching your group decision.*

NASA EXERCISE INDIVIDUAL WORKSHEET
INSTRUCTIONS: You are a member of a space crew originally scheduled to
rendezvous with a mother ship on the lighted surface of the moon. Due to
mechanical difficulties, however, your ship was forced to land at a spot
some 200 miles from the rendezvous point. During landing, much of the
equipment aboard was damaged, and since survival depended on reaching the
mother ship, the most critical items availablehad to be choose for the
200-mile trip. Below are listed the 15 items left intact and undamaged
after landing. Your task is to rank order them in terms of their impor-
tance to your crew in allowing them to reach the rendezvous point. Place
the number 1 by the most important item, and number 2 by the second most
important, and so on, through number 15, the least important. You have
15 minutes to complete this phase of the exercise.

"Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is"
In an effort to bring some excitement to the teaching of values and
needs and the process of maturing, and also to bring students' values as
well as their understanding of subject matter out into the open without
undue threat, I occasionally employ an auction technique.
Using this technique takes a degree of creativity on the part of the
teacher as well as a thorough acquaintance with the subject matter, but it
is fun. What I do is to identify a list of elements which I feel have value
for the sequence which we are learning. I list them in a concrete manner.
1. A perfect personality vitamin pill.
2. An injection (shot) which would guarantee never failing creative
abilities.
3. A home which provides a perfect family.
4. Parents whose wants and ideas never conflicted with those of their
children.
5. A tonic that assures you of good grades at school.
6. A house in which you would always be safe.
7. Parents with plenty of money.
8. A set of blueprints which would

"Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is" (cont.)
A list of ten to twenty items is adequate. It is usually advisable to
place each item on the list twice. Print a copy of your entire list. Dis-
tribute the list to each student. This becomes the catalogue of items to be
auctioned. Then suggest that each student possesses a specified amount of
money, two or three thousand dollars is usually enough. Ask them to spend
some time budgeting their money around the items to be auctioned. Five min-
utes is plenty of time for budgeting. Then begin bidding just as you would
if you were an auctioneer at an art sale or invite a student to act as auc-
tioneer, if you would like to bid, too. Ask the students to keep track of
every item they bid on, their own highest bid and whether they obtained the
item by being the highest bidder. Upon completion of the auction allow the
students to discuss their own behavior, how they perceived the items they
bid on, their opinions of the whole list. This initial discussion is usually
best done in small groups because it allows each student to express himself
adequately. However, total classroom discussion can also go well.
