Family Studies - Feb 26

Effective Communication

Listening
     -Mirroring - reflecting back emotion and content
     -worksheet - "Get the Message?"

Respect for one another is an important component of effective communication.
     -two activities - Conversations and Panel Interviews

2nd half of Communication - Sending Messages

The message we intend to send is not always received in that way due to difference in perception.

The way we send messages is the same way we receive them:
     -Body Language **
     -Words
     -Tone of Voice

Body Language**
     -we looked at how different postures, gestures, etc send different messages
     -students went to the IT lab to research what messages are sent with different body language
    -we will go over the information that they found next class

     -we watched a TED talk on the messages sent through the use of our hands
