After this class, students will be able to:
1. explain the difference between verbal and nonverbal communication.
2. draw on personal experience to describe situations of persuasion and appeal.
3. enact nonverbal situations.
Agenda:
1. Warm-up: In their notebooks, students should answer the following questions: Do you believe in always telling the truth? Why or why not? Can you think of a situation when you didn't tell the truth and it backfired on you? Ms. Kingsbury will solicit students for their answers.
2. Notes: Students will write the following notes into their notebook:
Nonverbal communication is a way that people communicate without using any words. Nonverbal communication includes:
- facial expressions
- hand gestures
- eye movements
- head and body movements
- posture
- smiling or frowning
We can communicate vast amounts of information without using any words at all by the way that we move.
Brainstorm: Describe the last time you told someone what you were thinking without using any words at all. 3-4 sentences
3. Charades: Students will practice nonverbal communication by playing a game of charades - full class activity.
4. Notes: Students should write the following notes into their notebooks: When we want to persuade someone to feel a certain way, we make an emotional appeal. For example, if we want to make our audience sad, we might tell them a story about a baby who was born with a birth defect. If we want to make our audience angry, we might tell them a story about racial injustices that still happen today.
Brainstorm: Think of the last time you made an emotional appeal to get something you wanted. What was the appeal? How did it turn out? Did you get what you wanted? 3-4 sentences Ms. Kingsbury will solicit students for their answers.
5. Wrap-Up: Happiest and saddest days of my life - Ms. Kingsbury will ask for volunteers to share their essays from last week.
Homework: There is no homework assigned tonight for this class.
