Communication… Is what we do to give and get understanding It is the process of sending and receiving messages

What are some ways that we communicate? Verbal: using words Non-verbal Facial expressions, body language, text, or written

Misunderstandings Have you ever had a misunderstanding that could have been prevented if someone communicate more effectively? Examples? Telephone Did the message get lost or change as it moved around the room? Does this ever happen with rumors/school gossip?

Charades I need a volunteer… who is ok getting up in front of the class to act something out How did our “actors” communicate when they couldn’t talk? Was the message delivered in a way you could understand? We communicate all day long with our body language. Can you tell when your friends, parents, teachers are having a good or bad day? With just looking at their body language?

Communicate with just verbal communication I’m looking for a volunteer to tell a story without using any non-verbal communication. When/if you see non-verbal communication raise your hand

Skills for effective communication (www.helpguide.org) (Know 3) Become an engaged listener Pay attention to nonverbal signals Keep stress in check Assert yourself

Become an engaged listener Effective communication is less about talking and more about listening Focus fully on the speaker Body language, tone of voice, and other nonverbal cues Avoid interrupting or trying to redirect the conversation to your concerns Show your interest in what’s being said Nod, smile, use active listening skills Provide feedback Paraphrase

Pay attention to nonverbal signals Nonverbal communication includes: facial expressions, body movement and gestures, eye contact, posture, the tone of your voice, and muscle tension

Tips for improving how you read nonverbal communication Be aware of individual differences People can have different body language depending on age, culture, religion, gender, and mental state Look at nonverbal communication signals as a group Consider the signals as a “whole” to get a better idea of what someone is saying
