Week Six - 31 August 2003
Telephones 

This week's teacher resources have been developed to complement the 'Communicate' double-page spread from The Sunday Times ChillOut! liftout on Sunday August 31, 2003.  

We now focus on the use of the telephone in communication.  The word "hello" was invented for telephone use as a tool to help people greet other who they couldn't see or did not know.  Since invention in 1871 telephones have transformed dramatically in size and shape, use these resources to following the progress from invention to the mobile phones of today.

Ready-to-print class activities supporting this week's subject are downloadable as pdf files for your reference, for:

The Sunday Times has also developed specific teacher resources that give teachers even more ways to use the whole newspaper as a valuable tool within the classroom, encouraging students to develop their skills in researching, problem solving, information gathering and analysis.
