This resource manual is designed to assist you in teaching the basic course
for which the seventh edition of Communication Mosaics is the primary text.
Some instructors using this book will be seasoned teachers of introductory
communication classes; others will be less experienced. Regardless of
whether you have taught the course before, this resource book should assist
you in meeting your pedagogical goals. It includes chapter outlines,
activities, test items, and teaching strategies we use in our own
classrooms, as well as insights gleaned from instructors across the United
States. The result is a range of perspectives, assignments, and teaching
options that offer useful ideas to veteran and novice teachers alike.
This seventh edition of the instructor's resource manual contains three
sections:
In Section I, Basic Course Considerations, we discuss some common issues
and different orientations to the basic course. Particularly important for
less experienced instructors, the opening discussion in Section I focuses
on some of the dangers and difficulties that arise when using teaching
material pertinent to students' personal lives and problems. This Section
of the resource manual also discusses alternative approaches to teaching
the course, ways to organize a class and manage logistics, and methods of
creating a classroom climate conducive to student involvement and learning.
Section II, Summaries of Chapter Content and Instructional Resources, is
designed to help you identify, use, and integrate a variety of available
multimedia resources and new technologies into your basic communication
course. We have included convenient Chapter Outlines of Chapters 1 through
15. These are particularly useful for instructors who read the text far in
advance of the course, and need to quickly refresh their memories of
specific ideas and topics. Corresponding to the chapters in the text,
Instructional Resources provides ideas for enriching the classroom learning
experience including class activities, journal items, panel ideas,
discussion topics, films and videos, case studies from the Communication
Scenarios DVD, and web resources. And, instead of relegating the study of
public communication to only the final chapters and the final weeks of the
course, we've also integrated ideas throughout this section to develop and
strengthen practical public communication and critical thinking skills.
