Cliques?
These four segments in this program identify, through real-life examples, the meaning and effects, both good and bad, of cliques.
Cliques? It Feels Good to Belong - Finding their place in a particular social group is a primary concern of many children. Cliques are groups of friends, but not all groups of friends are cliques. Cliques may be formed in elementary school or in middle school. Sometimes cliques are made of kids who share a common interest and other times the kids in them want to be popular or want to belong.
Cliques? Good or Bad - Cliques can have both positive and negative effects on individuals and groups, too. This program explores how cliques can affect a student and an entire school.
Cliques? Excluding Others - This program shows that cliques leave some kids out on purpose and kids may act much differently than they did before they were part of the clique.
Cliques? One or More is Okay - Some students have diverse interests. In this segment, kids will come to understand that it's okay to have two different sets of friends to hang out with.
The pertinent scenarios in this program should be appealing to both male and female students. The discussion questions that are provided are thought-provoking and should foster good discussions.

Smelling Smelly
When three filmmakers were challenged to create a film about a touchy topic, they came up with a unique solution--a silent-movie style film that conveys key concepts about personal hygiene with comic-like graphics. One of the filmmakers, Norean Goldston, plays the role of the central character, "Smelly." Although pleasant and friendly, Smelly isn't very welcome when she joins a group of students in the lunchroom. She has no idea why until a friend gently lets her know that personal hygiene is the problem. Smelling Smelly is an unusual and effective ice breaker on a topic that most people are timid to address.

Brain Gains: Better Grades Through Fitness
The National visits an inner city high school in Saskatoon, SK, where teacher Allison Cameron tests the theory that vigorous daily exercise improves academic performance. City Park Collegiate is considered a high school of last resort for kids who haven't been able to make it anywhere else. The Grade 8 and 9 students contend with a wide range of behavioural problems: almost half are diagnosed with ADHD and many work at a Grade 4 level. When Allison came across groundbreaking research by Harvard psychiatrist John Ratey (author of Spark), showing a link between sustained aerobic activity and the brain's ability to learn, she took the data to her principal to make the case for a new approach. For Allison and her students, the program was a runaway success and test results prove it.
