[#] 11 [Program Name] Ideas for Developing Activities Focusing on Communication [Annotation] 
Young people in the 7-9 grade age group tend to be very self-oriented as they begin the trials of adolescence. Suggested here are ways to use this interest in self to increase the students' awareness of how they communicate and appear to others. The activities fit into the journal keeping and autobiography projects that are part of the language arts curriculum for this level. Increased self knowledge will enhance the capacity to make creative personal decisions regarding one's own lifestyles and perceive and identify long- and short-term consequences of individual and group decisions.
