Can you picture life today without newspapers, televisions, or computers? Or without telephones, radios, or mail service? Could we get along without our modems and fax machines? And what about simple devices such as ballpoint pens? Where would we be without these handy little tools? 'Everyday Life: Communication' traces the evolution of communication from smoke signals to computers. It is not a history about how things work as much as a story of how achievements in communication have affected and changed the lives of people everywhere. It is a story that is both informative and interesting. As with other books in the 'Everyday Life' series, each of the eleven chapters in 'Everyday Life: Communication' concludes with activities designed to motivate and challenge students in all areas of the curriculum. Included, among others, are exercises dealing with critical thinking, vocabulary, math, geography, writing, and reading comprehension. Several puzzles are also provided for students' enjoyment. For grades 4-8. Softcover with 92 perforated & reproducible pages.
