 Communication
-
Look
for examples in the newspaper of new ways people are
communicating today that weren’t available 10 years ago, 20
years ago, or 50 years ago. What has caused the new ways of
communication to develop? What problems are there with the new
ways of communicating? Now, use your imagination. How might
people communicate in 25 years? What needs to be developed so
this form of communicating can become generally used?
-
People
communicate in many different ways. Find at least five
examples from the newspaper of people communicating or of
means of communication. Is the means of communication selected
the most effective in the situation described? Why or why not?
Make a chart with headings: Method of Communication,
Advantages, Disadvantages. Attach your examples of news items
and fill in the chart for each heading. Explain it to
someone.

An
important part of being a good reader is to be able to think
of questions about the material you are reading. Read a news
or feature story in the newspaper. Write down five questions
you have about the information presented. How could you find
the answers to your questions? Using the methods you decided
upon, try to find the answer to at least one of your
questions.

Games
Use
ideas and information found in the newspaper, supplements and
class activities to create your own board games, card games or
quizzes. These games and quizzes can be modelled on others that
are commercially available (e.g. Monopoly, Snakes and Ladders).
