7th- The seventh graders talked about communication. The three types of communication are Verbal, Non verbal and written. We played "telephone", which demonstrated that if we do not receive communication then the message is no good. We read " The Water Closet" which talks of a miscommunication between a British Lady who was referring to the "WC" as the Water closet and a school master who thought the "WC" stood for Weslian Church.
