Speech Comm

301--InterComm 3rd period

"So both sender and receiver have an assumed goal of wanting to accurately percieve the message. Let's talk about what happens when there is interferance. Something external that impedes the message. It could be time, distance, technology...it could be foreign influences like alcohol or noise...lots of stuff. How do we work around it? Do we modify the message? Do we look for it to get resent, or do we judge based upon what we are given?

And who has ever played 'Telephone?"

Speech Class Telephone: The Whole School
These few students will begin with a message. Please change it as you see fit and pass it on. I'd like to see how much we can change these things from their original.
IF YOU GET TAGGED FOR TELEPHONE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW HERE WHO YOU GOT IT FROM AND WHO YOU TAGGED. LINKS ARE NICE BUT NOT REQUIRED.

401--Advanced 5th period

We've looked at images of power. I'm really pleased with what you guys came up with. Now...power is ubiquitous and constant. We face it every day. In 301 we talked about hegemony and power structures in S/M/R...who has it, who wants it. What do you think about power? Nothing trite, let's really tear into it. Talk to each other. Learn from each other. I'll jump in when needed. or when I have a sec online, I mean.

Shep leans over and says to Maia, "I whisper something to you like, 'Principal Smith has a golf cart on his desk.' Then you whisper it to someone else. Then they whisper it to someone else. etc, etc. The way I learned it you could only ask the person to repeat it once if you couldn't understand what they said. After that you had to make your best guess and pass it on.

So you might hear 'Prince Smith has a small cart on his desk.' The person you say it to might hear you say 'Prince Smith had a bald fart on his desk', etc, etc..."

Maia started laughing "I like that so in the end you don't have a clue what was said." She started to laugh harder "bald fart."

"Yeah, it's the idea that small changes in pronounciation result in big changes in meaning."

Maia grinned happily thinking of who she wanted to call.
