    This lesson focuses on the essential questions of how humans communicate, why communication is inherently problematic, and how to overcome those problems. Students will understand how the medium affects the message, the fundamental problem of communication, and the limitations of their own communication. To address these, the teacher will prompt discussion of the essential questions, discuss models of communication, have students read a passage, and collect drawings from students depicting communication between people as an assessment of their understanding.
