Re-watch the movie from your Communication Practicum Project then select three 10 minute scenes (different from the previous week, where you looked at listening) and evaluate one 10 minute scene and focus on the Verbal Messages. Then focus on the second 10 minute scene and focus on the Non-Verbal Messages. Finally, evaluate the third scene and compare and contract Verbal Messages vs. Non-Verbal Messages. THE MOVIE YOU WILLL USE IS THE MOVIE CALLED: The Blind Side Use the following hints to help you organize your work: Briefly describe the scene, the characters and the situation. Using quotes from the movie, analyze the language used. Use material from the book to help you break down the use of language. Evaluate the body language, or non-verbal communication from the characters. Utilize at least 3 non-verbal elements from the reading. Cite each element, and then explain how the non-verbal behavior was either effective or ineffective. Save your assignment as a Microsoft Word document.

Module 03 - Verbal Messages & Non-Verbal Messages Verbal Communication Words can be concrete or abstract. Concrete words can be linked to a person or object (referent) to be experienced in the physical sense. If I ask a room of children to draw a picture of a house, most of the pictures will have similar traits…a standard building with walls, windows and doors. Abstract words, however, exist mentally without representing a tangible object. If I ask that same group to draw a picture of "home," those pictures will be very different and unique. We all have different definitions of what "home" is. It's an abstract concept. Adding to the language labyrinth are words that fall into the "confusing" category: slang, jargon, idioms, clichés, and colloquialisms. You can also have miscommunication based on regional dialect and language. These phrases can cause more problems than a tick in a strawberry patch. Women's Speech Styles Communication is a woman's primary way to establish and maintain relationships with others. Equality between people is generally important. Women choose words to show support for others. During conversations, women pay more attention to feelings and the relationship between communicators. Women will invest in conversational "maintenance work" by working to sustain the conversation by inviting others to speak and by prompting them to elaborate. Women show responsiveness by way of inclusivity. Women have a personal, concrete style of speaking. Tentativeness can be seen in conversational style. This will include verbal hedges or qualifying statements. Men's Speech Styles Men will define the goals of talk as exerting control, preserving independence, and enhancing status. Men like to establish their own status and value. Men speak instrumentality and use speech to solve problems or get information. Men display conversational dominance, oftentimes rerouting conversations by using what another said as a "jump-off" point for their own topic. Men express themselves in fairly absolute, assertive ways, tending to be more forceful, direct and authoritative. Men communicate more abstractly. Men tend not to be highly responsive, especially not on the relationship level. Key Terms for Verbal Communication Denotation: The denotation of words helps us wade through the uniqueness of concrete and abstract language. Denotation is the dictionary definition of a word. By using a word's denotation, we can construct a mental picture of what the term means. Connotation: Through its connotation, a verbal message can evoke feelings. Connotation is created by the emotional association you have with a word, either positive or negative. While societies may share connotative meanings, the level of emotional association is based on personal experiences and feelings. Polarization: When verbal messages describe things in only two distinct areas (right or wrong, good or bad, pretty or ugly, etc.), you are practicing polarization, or thinking and talking in extremes. How many things in life can be described using polarizing language? Not many. For example, you may say that a television show is good or bad. But, more specifically, you thought the acting was bad, but the plot was good. It's better to be specific so your audience won't have to decipher what you really mean. Static Evaluation: Change is inevitable. Yet, some people choose to not change their language to match the change. Static evaluation is the tendency to describe the world in outdated terms. Module 03 - Verbal Messages & Non-Verbal Messages Non-Verbal Communication Good communication skills can help you in both your personal and professional life. While verbal and written communication skills are important, research has shown that non-verbal behaviors make up a large percentage of our daily interpersonal communication. How can you improve your non-verbal communication skills? The following top eight tips for non-verbal communication can help you learn to read the non-verbal signals of other people and enhance your own ability to communicate effectively. Non-Verbal Signals: People can communicate information in numerous ways; so pay attention to things like eye contact, gestures, posture, body movements, and tone of voice. Incongruent Behaviors: If someone's words do not match their non-verbal behaviors, you should pay careful attention Tone of Voice: Your tone of voice can convey a wealth of information, ranging from enthusiasm to disinterest to anger. Eye Contact: When people fail to look others in the eye, it can seem as if they are evading or trying to hide something. On the other hand, too much eye contact can seem confrontational or intimidating. While eye contact is an important part of communication, it's important to remember that good eye contact does not mean staring fixedly into someone's eyes. Ask Questions About Non-Verbal Signals If you are confused about another person's non-verbal signals, don't be afraid to ask questions. A good idea is to repeat back your interpretation of what has been said and ask for clarification. Use Signals Appropriately Remember that verbal and non-verbal communication work together to convey a message. You can improve your spoken communication by using non-verbal signals and gestures that reinforce and support what you are saying. Look at Group Signals A single gesture can mean any number of things, or maybe even nothing at all. The key to accurately reading non-verbal behavior is to look for groups of signals that reinforce a common point. Verbal and Non-Verbal Together It is important to recognize the connection between verbal and non-verbal messages. Effective communicators combine the two concepts to ensure clarity and comprehension. There are four segments: Substituting: The non-verbal message replaces the verbal message. Complementing: The non-verbal message accompanies the verbal message. Accenting: The non-verbal message stresses or emphasizes the verbal message. Conflicting: The verbal and non-verbal messages are in contrast to one another.
