- Read through one of your previously turned-in assignments and highlight three sentences written in the passive voice.
- Rewrite those three sentences into the active voice.
- Turn it in!
To prepare you for this assignment,
- watch this video,
- try to rewrite one of your sentences,
- watch this second video
- then move on to the next two.
You have two options for your assignment due Tuesday.
- In a group of 2-3, make a video of one of you giving a speech and include three planned *realistic* distractions.
- Choose 2 conversations or speeches and make 3 observations about the situation, i.e., what are the distractions? What are the helps?
See pages 46-47 for the textbook explanation on situation.
Every conversation or speech has a 1)message and 2) nonverbals.
For this assignment, you need to reflect on ten conversations and/or speeches you’ve witnessed recently.
Take note of the message (the content of what’s communicated) next take note of a nonverbal, and then write about how that nonverbal affected the message!
We handed out a sheet in class that provides a format for you to use, and includes categories of nonverbals on the back. This will help you think about what you’re looking for.
Your textbook explains the SAFER acronym on page 27.
It explains the GAIN acronym on page 28.
Assignment:
