This resource will provide students with the opportunity to think deeply how these codes influenced the communities in which they were used. Questions have been designed for students to understand the benefits and disadvantages of different communication codes. Students will understand the benefits of being able to compare data in order to help make informed choices.
Students will actively participate in choosing their preferred method of communication from the ones they have learnt about and will use their chosen code to communicate with another student. Additionally students will have to consult the data sheets they completed in order to interpret the message they receive.
Differentiation
For students with disabilities, limit the number of codes to comparing using writing as one form of communication with only 1 of the other codes.
For students who are gifted or talented, extend the activity by having students created their own code and using that to create their secret message. Students will have to provide their own key to the code and explain how their code compares with current forms of communication and the code listed.
