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!))

Anya picks up her cards and smiles very BIG. She looks around, trying to read the others.

She places two cards down and announces, "I'll take two."

Anya picks up her new cards and is very pleased. She still has her smile and now has a gleam in her eyes. Oh yeah, she's taking this one.
