From rear cover notes: "Competence in oral communication is the foundation to students' personal and academic success, and the need to address communication education in grades K-12 has become a crucial national concern. The teaching activities in this book are designed to help students meet communication standards and competencies set forth by the National Communication Association, by state and local accrediting agencies, and by professional education associations such as NCTE, NCATE, AND NCTM. These activities have been tested in classrooms and found to be successful in helping students develop competencies in the fundamentals of communication, speaking, listening, and media literacy. Specifically, the activities are designed to: appeal to students of all ability levels; provide for student interaction and involvement; involve students in sending and receiving messages in a variety of contexts for a variety of purposes; and help teachers integrate oral communication instruction across the curriculum. The activities are consistently formatted for ease of use in the classroom. Each activity includes the related communication standard, an objective, the procedure for implementing the activity, a debriefing of the activity using follow-up suggestions and/or questions for discussion, and assessment procedures."
