This workbook on talking, listening, and communicating (TLC) furnishes curriculum materials for the elementary-secondary school teacher planning small group affective education activities. The workbook is divided into six sections: (1) teacher preparation--techniques for building a sense of groupness; (2) group preparation--helping members to know one another, develop trust, and form standards of group behavior; (3) communicating--activities teaching listening and talking skills; (4) self--activities developing students' abilities to understand themselves; (5) person-to-person--student activities for developing relationships with others; and (6) closure--activities for bringing a TLC group to an end which reflect gains made during the group experience. Each instructional section includes a series of warmup exercises, discussion topics, activities, "Dear TLC" letters (intended as focus for discussion), and music/poetry expression activities. (MJB)
