Helping students to recognize and understand their own attitudes and the attitudes and feelings of others, with special emphasis on how those feelings are communicated and dealt with is the purpose of the teacher's guide. Grade 7 students, in decoding each other's messages and discussing attitudes and feelings, discover the complexities of communication. They practice communication skills in role-playing situations and develop adjustment skills needed when interpersonal differences must be resolved. Some of the topics covered include communication symbols, language, the communication process, attitudes, adjustment skills, and identifying interrelationships. The subject area for which the materials in the guide have potential is language. Each set of learning experiences contains a student objective, set overview, resource list, teacher-preparation tasks, learning activities, and suggestions for evaluation-summary activities. Resource materials such as posters, worksheets, transparency masters, and games accompany many of the learning activities. (Author/NJ)
