32. Essentials of good speech : loudness, 2 (13:11)

Date:
1974

34. Essentials of good speech : pitch 2 (12:00)

Date:
1974
Summary:
Presents a second lesson on pitch at the "Presentation Stage." Introduces hand signals used in association with extremes of pitch to help the pupil imitate extremes; these signals will be used later to cue her for correct pitch while she is talking.

35. Essentials of good speech : pitch 3 (10:01)

Date:
1974
Summary:
Demonstrates the guiding of a pupil to consciously produce the desired pitch of vowels through reinforcement of his correct imitations. Depicts the teacher assessing the pupil's natural pitch for the vowels (ü), (ä), and (ē), in one case making the child conscious of his naturally high (ü).

36. Essentials of good speech : pitch 5 (10:22)

Date:
1974
Summary:
Presents four lesson segments demonstrating advanced stages of pitch learning. Demonstrates, in the first segment, the production of vowels which move from low to high or high to low, and the production of combinations of loud, soft, high, and low-pitched vowels. Presents, in the second segment, the application of "part" learning of pitch to the correct general pitch by asking the pupil to lower his voice. Shows, in the final segment, the application of "part" learning of pitch to the intonation of the question, "Is it big?"

37. Essentials of good speech : pitch, 1 (13:25)

Date:

Summary:
Discusses pitch as an aspect of voice production, and how it refers to the degree of highness or lowness of sound. Emphasizes pitch as a "part" which will be applied to "wholes."

38. Essentials of good speech : pitch, 4 (12:13)

Date:
1974
Summary:
Presents a pupil working at the "Imitation Stage" on pitch. Shows the pupil developing high vowels (ä) and (ē) from one naturally high vowel, (ü). Depicts a pupil being taught to sustain high vowels in moving in continuous voice from (ü) to (ä) and (ē).

39. Introduction - 1 (16:32)

Date:
1974
Summary:
Provides an orientation to the entire series of 42 films, including descriptions and illustrations of purpose; content; teaching approaches (synthetic/analytic and multisensory); techniques of verbalizaton; and a structure for teaching speech in general situations, as well as specific speech lessons.

40. Introduction 2 : the speech model, part 1 (14:38)

Date:
1974
Summary:
Describes and illustrates a speech model used for explaining both the learning of speech skills and the teaching seen in the entire 42-film series. Demonstrates Face A of the model through the "Presentation and Imitation Stages" including a demonstration of shaping.
