Three curriculum units for the fifth grade level focus on: (1) conservation skills; (2) newspaper's history and organization; and (3) television's skills and talents. Each unit's behavioral objectives emphasize career opportunities within the communications, newspaper, and television industries. A chart format is used to list suggested content questions, teaching techniques and learning activities, and learning resources and materials. Culminating activities and a special supplement describing suggested projects for a newspaper-in-the-classroom program are featured in the newspaper unit. The newspaper-in-the-classroom program includes social studies, language arts, science, mathematics, and business activities. Resource lists are provided for each unit and include: books, encyclopedias, pamphlets, filmstrips, films, and transparencies. (SD)
