Using Video Therapy to Address the Social and Emotional Needs of Gifted Children
Henry J. Milne and Sally M. Reis
In the recent film, October Sky, four teenage boys develop their talents and their task commitment when they pursue rocketry as a science fair project that eventually results in a national prize. The year is 1957, and the impetus for their project is Sputnik. One of the boys is a “brain” who is socially isolated from the other students in his school. Another is a talented student who has not been motivated to achieve in math because he did not see the usefulness of this content area. Another of the teens is physically abused by his alcoholic stepfather. The recent viewing of this film by several gifted students caused an hour of heated debate about school and the absence of opportunity to pursue projects based on interests, as well as several other social and emotional issues related to feeling different.
