Abstract	The ideas and activities in this curriculum guide seek to develop students' communication skills through participation in real world activities as opposed to classroom simulation. The lessons were pilot tested on a fifth and sixth grade class, but can be adapted for use in grades four through eight. Following an introductory section, the course of study outlined in the guide is divided into four main areas of focus: history of communication, methods of communication, communication skills, and projects. The first part, on the history of communication, is comprised of nine lessons offering students a historical perspective on the development of communication, from cave painting to satellites. The second part, methods of communication, introduces the four main categories of communication--verbal, written, visual, and nonverbal--with three lessons presented for each area. The communication skills section concentrates on the three main skill areas, providing three lessons for presentation, writing, and critical thinking. Finally, the guide outlines six long-range projects, each of which requires advanced planning and will work best using small cooperative groups. All lesson plans list goals, objectives, materials needed, time required, a procedural outline, evaluation methods, and suggestions for follow-up or extension. A 33-item bibliography is provided.
