    1. Are you taking dormitory inspection? Yes, shan't be long. Chips! Yes? Cough a little before you come to number . Now, Kathy, why? Jones Minor got a box from home today. Did you ever have a dormitory feast? Well, I do remember once, but that's beside the point. Is it? I think you're trying to pull Brookfield down stone by stone. Thought I heard a noise. Must have been the cat.

      I don't know of any term or theory that would relate to this scene but I appreciated the fact that Mr. Chips decided to choose his battles and not punish the students for staying up late.

    2. Your cap, sir! Let me get it for you, sir! No, sir, let me! No, sir, I'll pick it up! No, sir, I will! That will do, thank you! We're glad to help. Do you hear what I say? Go to your places.

      Clip Even though the clip is in french I have highlighted the scene so you can read along. With this scene Mr. Chips does not yell and is shocked and visibly hurt when the headmaster says he will cane the students.

    4. Cheer up. I'm new too. It's not easy to begin with.

      In this scene there is a new student on the train to school and he is crying. At this point Mr. Chips is also new too and tries to comfort the boy to new avail. Mr.Chips trying to meet the safety needs of the new student who is alone and missing his family. By making the connection that the boy is not the only one who is new, Mr. Chips is trying to meet the need for belonging that Maslow states must be met.

    5. Mr. Chipping, we weren't expecting you. Good afternoon, Martin. Good afternoon, sir! Rigby, good afternoon. My governor asked to be remembered. He'll send some grouse. Thank you, Grayson. I shall appreciate that very much. Where did you go for holiday? I stayed home. Glad to see you. Thank you, Mills. The head said you couldn't come out, sir. Couldn't I? How do you do, sir? Collingwoods. You look more like your father every day. Good afternoon, sir. This is my brother. Miller? Miller secundus, eh? Yes, sir. Do they starve you at home, Miller? Hello, sir. Hello, Morgan. Still growing out of your trousers? Your grandfather's trousers were short. Runs in the family. Morgans are always three inches ahead of their trousers.

      Again unlike the other teacher who did not greet the students, Mr. Chips greets every student that he sees and makes connections with them that prove how much he cares and wonders about their lives. Even the ones that he does not remember he still tries to make a connection with them.

    6. Locked out. Well, I'll be Well, we'll have to wait. That's all there is to it. So you're a stinker? A stinker, sir? A new boy. That is what we call them here. "Stinkers."

      In this scene the new student is seen nervous and worried that he was missed the first day assembly but with noticing the student's anxiousness the teacher Mr. Chips smiles kindly at the boy and sets him at ease. Maslow's theory about deficiency needs is displayed in this scene with Mr. Chips trying to meet the safety and belonging need that felt by the new student.

    7. Knock again. What shall I say? Say, "Here I am, Mr. Chips." Here I am, Mr. Chips. What on earth? I can see you're there. What is all this? They told me you wanted to see me, sir. Oh, so they told you, did they?

      This reminded me of Erikson's stages of Psychosocial Development and his stage of Identity versus role confusion. At this point in the film a new kid is tricked by the older students to go and visit a teacher at his home. Hoping that the teacher would get mad and chase the student away which does not happen. The new student wants to feel a part of something and does what the other children wanted.

    8. Assembly. Assembly. Come on, you boys. Assembly. Hurry up, now. Assembly. Assembly. Assembly. Carrie primus. Carrie secundus. Danvers. Denville. Darby.

      In our classroom management book there was a question of how we as teachers would greet our students when they first arrive. I noticed that when the students attend assembly they must check in with a teacher but the teacher never greets them.
