Speech Comm

[Again in a turtle neck, she moves easier than the day before. Less wincing, and she's smiling radiantly. The desks are gone, replaced by small square tables and chairs.]


301--Theory

Today we're going to discuss non-verbal communication. Body language. It's essential that we know how to read one another because nonverbal communication makes up more of the message than you'd imagine. Words delivered flatly do not pack the same punch as a message accompanied by a physical manifestation of ethos, pathos, and logos.

So today...we play poker. [She passes out decks of cards and chips] Pay attention to the body language of your fellow players. You'll be expected to use this info tomorrow, so you can take notes if you need to. I've got cheat sheets and rules on the tables for those of you who don't know how to play Five Card Draw.


((as a player, you need to try to describe in detail your physical reactions...for your fellow players work tomorrow. Thanks!))

Boy, is this going to be the blind leading the blind...

"Err... this card says we deal out four hands of five. I can certainly do that much."

He shuffles well enough, but the cards get hung up on one another on the bridge. Blushing, he hastily deals the hands. ((Sydney, let's make it that you're on dealer's left, Paige on your left, Lily on Paige's left, my right.))
