CONTENT STATEMENT
4. Individuals can assess how effective communicators address diverse audiences.
CONTENT ELABORATION
As individuals engage with others on global issues, they need to be able to communicate their beliefs and ideas with other individuals and with diverse groups.
Effective communicators, either individuals or groups, adapt communication styles to address diverse audiences by adjusting their use of communication tools, characteristics and conventions.
Examples of communications could include examination of school-level and personal communications, such as:
- e-mails;
- letters to families;
- texts;
- web posts; and
pieces from news programs, websites, advertisements, or other media sources.
Opportunities should be provided for students to practice their own communication skills as they engage with others on global issues.
EXPECTATIONS FOR LEARNING
Analyze communication methods that an organization uses with diverse audiences.
