Children of this age range ( ten to eleven years) love to use this story type preteen and
early teens are essentially moralists — they willingly embrace a cause, they are quick to condemn
wrongdoing, especially in others The joy with which they shout out in unison their " farm safety
morals" at the end of each video demonstrates this attitude
3.3.3.3 The Child in the Adult Farm Safety World
The second kind of video shows children dressing, acting and talking as though they were
adults One video uses a pair of overall- covered legs attached to boots These boots are placed
so that the audience can see that this is all that remains of someone who has been caught in an
auger, or pinned under a vehicle Several videos depict children dressed in protective gear while
working around chemicals or grain bins Or the children may be dressed in coveralls and work
jackets acting out everyday tasks like locking grain bins, or disengaging a PTO There are several
important points to note about this second category of video
• its clearly informed by the ideal of the family farm
• its the child- actors are mostly male, or made to represent men, women are
portrayed as being in the house ( serving coffee, or on the phone)
• it represents safety as machinery- related
• its child actors portray adults, but are very familiar with not only the issues, but
with how to handle the equipment or stock involved in the shot
The children in this second category of video see themselves as part of ( or about to
become a part of) the adult farm safety world At grade five, many of them may be operating
some machinery on the farm
3.3.3.4 How do the Written Entries Differ from the Video Entries?
The written entnes generally take the form of a story These stones either discuss how
a farm safety problem was solved ( e g inventing a fence and exterior platform so that the farmer
will not slip into the feed truck), or describe in graphic detail the gnm results of a farm accident
( amputations, mangling or burning vehicles)
These stories do not use the ideal farm as their context In these stones, children are
involved in the decision- making at the farm table Women feed animals and operate equipment
and sometimes get hurt Children don't listen to good advice, and men fail to take safety
precautions
The focus is not on the single family operation, but frequently mentions the activities and
accidents that occur in the distnct, between extended family members and friends, or on the
media The children are very aware that their farm lives are lived within a community context
This context is not evident in the 30 second ' adult" vignettes
