Do you know what your children are watching? Selective television viewing is fast becoming a popular by- word as parents and educators alike steer children to that task. At a recent language arts professional activity day. a workshop entitled "The Flickering Blue Hearth" was conducted by Huron County Board of Education media co- ordinator Dave Bieman. "There are ways of getting kidsto look critically attelevi- sion," Bieman told the group of teachers and parents. - There are several things to do when watching television critically, the media co- ordinator explained, in- cluding selecting specific programs. One person in the workshop described program selection as not watching a program that has someone on it that you wouldn't invite into your own home. The workshop pointed out that discussion of television programs watched provides more active family participa- tion.

Children may also be encouraged to write their own television play. Programs based on historical events or biographies may, be com�,1 pared to books on the same subject. As stated in the workshop, this can often lead the family to the public library. There is some good televi- sion around, and Bieman. noted the "really good pro- grams" produced by TV On- tario. Shows such as Cover To Cover and Read -a -long were two TVO productions singled out, but there are many more. Commercials Distinguishing the balance of fantasy and reality in any television program is a necessity especially for young children to help them deter- mine what is real and what isn't. Bieman pointed out that in particular the division bet- ween fantasy and 'reality should be noted in commercials. Television commercials are never createdby accident, said Bieman.. Instead they are slick productions by a com- pany selling a product. Bieman presented several commercials, mostly aimed at children. Demonstrating the difference between fan- tasy and reality, the only Real things on a pa-rticular McDonald's commercial were the restaurant building and the food. Taking a departure from other commercials, the McDonald's commercial comes complete with a title. It's like a 60 second television program, stated Bieman, with a plot and an ending. As television viewing becomes a national past time, parents have to set a good ex-, ample for their children and Bieman pointed out that by exposing children to good television, they will be more selective in what they choose to watch.
