Week 5

Part one

We did nonverbal communication, which happens everyday and i never really thought of it. We started out with holding fingers in the middle equaling 22. Which our group it wasnt really that hard, but we were all females so that makes it easier. We read each other. We watched a video on how your body makes people read you. How far your head is tilted, what your hands are doing, and how your face expressions are. We then talked about all the diffrent ways to describe non verbal communication. One thing i thought was interesting was in the book " A final type of nonverbal behavior is silence, which can communicate powerful messages. " I'm not speaking to you" actually speaks volume." (woods, pg. 137) We talked about how clothing can make you diffrent or artifacts. How you dress yourself or your surroundings. We then as a group drew a big poster on all the non verbal communications and our groups poster turend out very colorful and great!!.

Part two

A persons message and communication can be seen any many ways. Your body language shows how you are feeling for the day. It shows what kind of person you are such as: your posture, the way you hold your body, the way you sit, and the way you move. Your face shows expression, it shows how you react to something, it shows how interested you are into the person talking, you have to be careful when communicating with others that you keep a positive face no matter what because we are all human and can read each other’s face expressions. Your eyes show tiredness, interested, if you have eye contact with the person or if your eyes are wondering and you are bored. Space a person uses I think is a big person, you notice how close a person gets to you while talking, or how distance someone will stay from people, I think it shows if you are a people person or like to keep to yourself. Your artifacts are what you wear or how you dress up your office, bedroom, house and many other things. It shows some of you personality’s. Touch I don’t think is that important or maybe its cause im not a touchy person and people don’t do it to me cause they know not to. I think touch comes with how much of a people person you are. The last one how you use silence and time, do u keep to yourself, can you not be alone, show what kind of person you are again.
