Using realistic scenarios this program helps students in Grades 3 to 5 recognize how rumors and gossip get started, the ease with which they are spread, the serious consequences that may arise as a result, and how to use truth to battle both rumors and gossip. In exploring the issues involved, viewers learn why it's important not to repeat the stories they hear, or start a rumor themselves. Thought-provoking discussion questions, suggested activities, and reproducible handouts all designed to reinforce the issues presented are to be found in the teacher's guide. (video or DVD with an extensive teacher's guide).
