2 page article about commuication

To prepare for this Application:

• Choose and review one of the following communication scenarios:
• • The “Effective Listening” document effective_listening.doc
    
  • A television show (preferably a drama or sitcom)
• In
  the scenario you chose to review, consider the types of communication
  that all the people involved are displaying. How are they reacting to
  verbal and nonverbal cues?
• Reflect
  on why they communicated in that manner. Was it easier to convey the
  message nonverbally rather than verbally? What factors contribute to the
  choice of methods for interpersonal communication? How was emotion
  conveyed by each of the participants?

The assignment:

• Imagine
  that you are a newspaper reporter for your local paper. Write a 2-page article about the communication scenario you chose. In order to fully explain the nature and function of the verbal and nonverbal behavior you observe, include the following information:
• • Who was involved?
  • What happened?
  • Where did the communication happen and at what time of day?
  • What
    interpersonal communication did you observe (emotional, verbal, and
    nonverbal)? Give examples and connect your observations to the concepts
    in Chapters 4 and 5 of Understanding Interpersonal Communication: Making Choices in Changing Times.
  • Were all of the people involved successful at conveying their message to the other party? Why or why not?
