Speech Comm

301--Practice

Papers are due. Turn 'em in.

This is our last unit. You've all learned so much over the term, I'm very proud of you. Hang in there...we only have practice, your final project, and your final...then it's home for the holidays! Or, you know, stay here.

Ok, practice. Every day you talk to people. You listen to teachers. You, you select few, have the tools to unpack the message. You should, by now, understand what role trust plays, how influence is used, the perils of obedience to authority, and the sender/message/receiver paradigm...inside and out. You should be hyper-conscious right now, having just finished it, on how body language can bolster or skew a message entirely for a receiver.

Given all you know, your task today is to form into pairs. I'd like you to challenge the trust you hold for one another. You may or may not choose to use any of the things you learned to convey a message. Each of you do this. The message you choose to send is up to you.

Furthermore, in prep for tomorrow, be conscious of one particular interaction that happens today, and be prepared to discuss it tomorrow following the above criteria.

Ok, gang. Go.

Elizabeth handed in her paper, which was full of technical terms and correct, although one might have got the sense that she hadn't really watched the film any time recently and was going on memory.

She nodded along through the instructions, and looked around for someone to pair up with.

*Elizabeth hesitates, but answers honestly*

Not really.

Rory was upset, so I was talking things through and trying to comfort her.
