Verbal and Non-Verbal communication

Be able to communicate about media production in discussions 


Verbal Communication.
Verbal communication is a way of communicating with another individual through speech, sounds and words this type of communication is very important when speaking in a group because it’s the easiest way people can communicate also if you don’t speak loud and clear your group won’t hear your idea and it could be a good idea.

Non Verbal Communication.
Non Verbal communication includes sign language, body language and gestures this type of communication might not be as important to us as verbal communication but we do use it in our everyday life like saying hi by waving but it is important for those people with speech difficulties because this is one of the only ways that they can communicate with other people it is also the most used communication by them.

The Newspaper Tower Challenge: Verbal.
  • We discussed how we will be doing the tower and how we were going to  fold the newspapers and where we will put the tapes in like the angle and the size that we would need to stick the newspaper’s in. 
  • It was easy because were using the easiest way to communicate to each other.
  • We only had 5 minutes to do this Verbal task.
The Newspaper Tower Challenge: Nonverbal.
  • In this task we had 15 minutes to do it but we couldn't communicate to each other verbally.
  • It was easy because we had more time but it was hard as we couldn't talk to each other. 
  • It was standing but it wasn't tall enough. 
  • I think it went well because everyone got through it quietly without speaking and we didn't go against the rules.  
Good Group Communication Skills.
  • Environment: if your not in a good environment where there are noises that distract you in the background you wont get any work done and it will take longer to explain things. 
  • Clarity of voice: it is important for you to speak clearly in a group because if you just whisper an idea you will never know what people have to say about it and if it’s actually a good idea.
  • Giving people the opportunity to speak and not speaking over each other is very important because if speak while someone else is speaking you won’t get to hear that one possible good idea they have.  
Consequences of poor communication skills.
  • Good ideas will be missed.
  • Could cause someone’s job.
  • Arguing will ruin the presentation.
  • People might get the wrong information because of people speaking over each other.
Discussion Guide:
Environment
  • if there are people talking in the background you wont be able to hear good ideas.
  • If there are people arguing people will start talking over each other.
Supporting Resources
  • having supporting resources means that the people involved in the discussion will be more prepared for what topics might arise. 
Discussion Ground Rules Resources.
Agenda
  • Make sure that the point your getting across is clear and understandable.
  • If  you start the discussion unclear in means people will most likely get sidetracked and the proper reason of the topic will be missed. 
Time
  • Make sure that there is enough time to cover all the necessary points within the discussion.
Discussion Ground Rules:
  • Speak loud and clear.
  • No arguing. 
  • Don’t speak over each other.
  • Speak in a calm tone.
  • Be positive.
  • Give people the chance to speak.
  • Put your hand up if you have something to say.
  • Put any devices that will be of any distraction to you and your surroundings.
  • Do not bring food or drinks.
  • Have every possible equipment you will need ready for the discussion.  
Interacting with others: The Soler theory.
  • S: face squarely: by doing this its is showing that the person is involved with the other individual.
  • O: keeping an open posture: this means that you should not cross your arms or any other negative gestures because it might scare the other individual away.
  • L:  lean: people tend to lean forward automatically when talking to someone so you have to lean to make it look like you’re interested.
  • E: eye contact: by keeping a good eye contact it shows the you are listening to the other person.
  • R: be relaxed: being relaxed is important when you are talking to someone, so stay still and not move about when the other person is talking to you.
Social Media Group Debate.
1. You must decide upon an opening statement. This should state your opinion, position and the arguments you will be proposing. 
  • E.g. Censorship is wrong because everyone has the right to free speech. 
  • Opening statement: I think that social media sites like Facebook are great because you can communicate easily with people including the people you love from long distances even if it’s on the other side of the world also you can promote your band, product or song within the social media site.
Questioning Your Opponent.
 2. You should have at least 10 questions that can be asked of your opponent. These should be on separate sheets of paper or on note cards for easy reference. The questions should be specifically directed to your opponent and should be concise and clear.

  • How can you justify getting rid of Facebook when so many people use it to communicate with their loved ones from long distances?
  • How can you justify getting rid of Facebook when so many businesses rely on it to sell their product’s?
  • How can you justify getting rid of Facebook when people use it to promote their music?
  • How can you justify getting rid of Facebook when here are games making millions like candy rush and Farmville?
  • People who use Facebook safely will suffer because of the few people who don’t, so it would be unfair to get rid of it because of those few other people, will you still get rid of it?
