ABSTRACTThis teacher's guide accompanies the four videos ("Born to

Trouble: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"; "The Shock of the Nude: Manet's

Olympia"; "Hollywood Censored: Movies, Morality and the Production Code"; and

"The Devil's Music: 1920s Jazz") of the PBS "Culture Shock" series. The guide

suggests that the videos could be used in the English/language arts

classroom, or as part of an interdisciplinary curriculum they could help

sustain either a semester-long inquiry into issues of the arts and

intellectual freedom or a chronological or thematic study of the arts in the

United States. It explains that since all the videos touch on similar issues

and questions, the themes become increasingly complex and interesting as they

are considered in relation to different works of art. The guide contains an

explanatory section and additional sections on exploring the series' themes

and on teaching "Huckleberry Finn" in context. It examines each video

separately, with activities and questions: "About the Film" offers a film

summary and a brief list of key terms, topics, and people; "Literature Links"

offers ideas for using the films in conjunction with books; "Viewpoints"

contains quotes, article excerpts, and other primary and secondary sources

ideal for student discussion and activities. Each video has its own

"Resources" section, while the "General Resources" section lists books,

organizations, and Web sites for further exploration. (BT)

The Production Jode

I. CrimeS against the

Murder

a) The technique of murder must be

.

presented in a way that will not

inspire imitation.

b) Brutal killings are not to be

presented in detail.

c) Revenge in modern times shall not

be justified .

..

The illegal drug traffic must not

be portrayed in such a way as

to stimulate curiosity concerning

the use of, or trattle in, such

drugs; nor shall scenes be

approved which show the use of

illegal drugs, or their effects. ..

The use of liquor in American

life, when not required by

the plot or for proper

chtracterization, will not

'be Shown.

II.

Scenes of passion

a) These should not be introduced

except where they are definitely

essential to the plot.

b) Excessive and lustful kissing,

lustful embraces, suggestive

postures and gestures are not

to be shown.

c) In general, passion should be

treated in such a manner as not

to stimulate the lower and

baser emotions...

Miscegenation (sex relationship

between the white and black race)

is forbidden...

Scenes of actual childbirth, in

fact or in silhouette, are never

to be presented."
