COMPREHENSION 

    Communicating in the past long ago it was difficult to communicate over long distances.  People did not have telephones like we have today. Smoke signals could be seen from far away. If someone wanted to send a smoke signal, he or she had to build a fire. Then they had to wear a blanket over the fire to form patterns with the smoke signals. The member of smoke signals and the spacing between the signals sent different messages. 

Drum beats 

Drum beats could be heard many kilometres away. The sound travelled from one village to another. The person sending the message would beat the drum in a special rhythm. Important messages would be passed on from village to village. Warnings like “Under attack” or foreigners arriving” were communicated with different drum rhythms.
