The Bay School of San Francisco is an independent high school where innovative teaching and learning is grounded in mindfulness, equity, and community.
Karen Hellyer’s Video Production 1A class tackled Bay’s Precepts as concepts for 30-60 second commercials.
Here was their assignment:
For each precept, come up with three examples / ideas that could somehow be illustrated in a 60 or 90 second spot.
[list_numbered]We aspire to live by these Guiding Precepts and build our community life on them:
We value living with kindness and honesty; we are careful truth tellers.
We value the importance of boundaries; we take only what is given.
We value respecting ourselves and our friends in relationships; we don’t misuse sexuality.
We value a clear mind and a healthy, strong body; we don’t intoxicate ourselves with alcohol, drugs, unhealthy food, or the misuse of technology.
We value kind speech; we don’t slander or gossip.
We value the richness of difference and diversity; we don’t praise ourselves at the expense of another; we don’t bully or haze.
We value communication; we don’t harbor anger or ill will, especially toward ourselves.
We value generosity; we share, giving and receiving help.
We value patience with ourselves and others; we don’t rush to judgment.
We value the earth, our home; we don’t pollute, we recycle and we are careful, conscious consumers.
