There's also a sort of cheesy video I have showing a Russian girl who barks like a dog - a little suspicious - and some mentions (and photos) of Indian children who were feral. I forget the source...I've never shown the video in class because it's just not documented, and of course it as the usual over-the-top dramatic presentation with lots of dramatic music and slow-mo video shown over and over. I hate that stuff. But if you think it would be helpful to your student, I'd be happy to make a copy. I have it buried somewhere but my video filing system isn't too bad, so I should be able to dig it up. Beth Benoit Granite State College Plymouth State University New Hampshire
