WHAT TO DO ABOUT ONE'S MISTAKES.

做错了事怎么办

This series of transparencies teaches children how to admit their mistakes and correct wrong behavior. An energetic little boy is playing with a ball and accidentally breaks a window. Classmates and their teacher think another child is the perpetrator, until the boy admits his mistake. An understanding between teacher and playmates contributes to a happy ending.

This series of 12 transparencies was produced by the Beijing Slide Production Factory, circa early 1980s; the organization that commissioned it is unknown.
