Communication - Thursday, Period 5

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

"As I told you last week, this week's class is about public speaking. Public speaking is an important part of communication in that it trains you to organise your thoughts effectively and allows you practice at speaking in front of people you otherwise wouldn't be comfortable with.

If you haven't prepared your speech and can't get it done by the time it's your turn to speak, then this week you'll be getting a lesson in improvisation. If you have a serious problem with this assignment, I'll be at the back of the room. Feel free to come and speak with me."

Re: Speech Time!

Cassandra sort of didn't know that she was supposed to be nervous. She had done a little preparation and her speech was about non-verbal communication.

Well, that's what it was about, not what she called it. Cassandra spent most of her time talking about "watching people". She provided lots and lots of demonstration of the differences between afraid and angry and anxious and similar emotions which were hard to differentiate.
