tools of communication?!
hmm that's extremely general!

could be television, radio, newspaper, internet, magazines.....

the 2 unit media topic is really not a textbook subject, there isn't a specific site on the internet which would deal with it
it is your own research into a particular area of the media, recent events, for me it was when the governor general with the sex aligations and all back last year

this year, you can choose something else, best if it is australian and recent!

the media part is really to show how the media can be bias and can lean towards controversial subjects......relate it back to religion

yea 2U is really vauge sometimes......

but tools of communication would be classified to 2 ares:

1. print, and
2. non print.....

(if u were specifically talking about media's communication)

print:......newspaper, pamphlets,billboards, posters......blah blah
non print: word of mouth, radio, tv, ......
hand gestures maybe?

tools of communication isnt it the syllabus so I would clarify this with your teacher as it sounds like something they have made up..
