Assignments: Start collecting pictures about the people, places and things in your life and things that are of interest to you. Jot down some notes to present these items orally in an entertaining manner. Don't say "I have included a lot of pink on my collage because I like pink." Instead, give the audience some details about your first memory of your attraction to pink and the first pink item that captured your attention; there may even be an interesting story associated with the memory. Try to incorporate images and information that brings your personality to life. What do you want us to know about you and your family, friends, hobbies, activities, places you are from or have visited? How should your oral information and collage be organized in order to make use of transitions in order to flow as seamlessly as possible to the next grouping or item? It is best to gather your pictures (magazines, photos, computer print-outs, etc.), think about how it can best be organized (spatially, topically, chronologically) to suit your presentation before you paste your pictures. Be thinking of that WOW factor to begin your collage speech and a memorable way to conclude it.
This week we will further discuss non-verbal communication, para language, and listening. We will view a short video on non-verbal communication and practice some listening exercises. This Friday, we should be able to get to our news discussion. Our first test will cover Chapters 1, 2, & 4 and will be taken next week. (week of Sept. 8-12)
