Intended for seniors planning a career in industry as skilled laborers, this specialized course in Industrial Communications offers the student basic communications skills which he will need in his work and in his daily life. Since class activities center around short, factual oral reports, class size will be limited to 20, providing a maximum of attention to each student. The grading system utilized will attempt to free students from past feelings of inadequacy, as will the type of instructor chosen for the course--a male language arts teacher who is interested in and has respect for these young men. The course itself is divided into two areas--one relating specifically to the world of work (e.g., job interviewing, impression-making, form completion, job retention, union practice), the other relating to daily life (e.g., propaganda and various forms of mass media). (Detailed lesson plans comprise the bulk of this course description.) (MF)
