Designed to assist Peace Corps volunteers to plan, produce, and use instructional materials in the classroom and in the community, this training manual focuses on materials that volunteers can produce or obtain locally at minimal expense. Included is a brief section about projected media, which are a useful means of communication in those situations where materials and equipment are available. The manual is structured under five major headings: (1) Planning Instructional Materials; (2) Using Media in the Classroom and in the Community; (3) Presentation Methods and Materials; (4) Basic Production Techniques; and (5) Writing. Many of the ideas and illustrations have been taken directly from materials prepared by students and faculty of Indiana University who have worked with international programs either on campus or overseas. Appendices include supplemental information on planning; evaluation procedures; communication factors in family planning; formulas for making hectograph copies, dyes and paints, rubber cement, and materials for models; equipment construction plans; sample illustrations; lettering patterns; a media comparison chart; notes on the use of audiovisual equipment; and sources of information. A limited index is included. (THC)
