This morning, please watch the following video advice from writer Annie Jacobsen.
One of the most common (and enjoyable) types of communication that we engage in every day is a conversation. This is a verbal exchange of ideas between two or more people. An effective conversation requires the participants to speak, listen, and understand each other. It is a fundamental human skill. Getting good at the art of conversation can open doors for your future profession. Every job requires some level of conversation to occur--even student.
Take a look at this article from the blog The Happiness Project: "Seven Tips for Making Good Conversation" by Gretchen Rubin. Read it and list the tips in your notebook/journal. When you have completed that exercise, please read the next article: "How to Come Up With Good Conversation Topics." Again, take notes in your journal/notebook on key points in the article.
Please complete this reading and note taking during period 3. During period 4 we will have a conversation. More details will be covered in class.
When you have completed your reading, please continue to write your fictional interview story project. You should aim to complete at least one page of your story. The project will be due at the end of next class (Thursday).
HOMEWORK: For those of you who completed your homework on "How Communication Affects Your Life", please move on to our next chapter (10 questions due Monday) on "The Process of Communication."
If you didn't complete your previous homework, this is your written invitation to do so again. You will not be able to move ahead until you complete your homework (the 10 ?'s for that chapter).
