Observation Activity - Bring your notebook/binder and something to write with. We will do some communication observations. For each communication you observe write down the following: Who am I observing? Who was the initial sender and who was the receiver? What kind of conversation am I observing? Was there interference during the conversation? How did they react to the interference? Explain their body language. Did they have a mutual understanding in the conversation? Explain Did the initial sender accomplish what he/she set out to accomplish? Explain We will discuss the results in class.

Observation Results: Discuss the questions that were asked concerning the communication circle that you observed.

Learning to Speak in Public Draw on familiar skills Learning any new skill involves mastering a set of techniques and then practicing them Conversation and Public Speaking – mimic each other depending on circumstance Speaking and Writing – in both speaking and writing you must have a focused sense on who the audience is.

Recognize public speaking’s unique requirements Successful speakers use: Familiar words Easy to follow sentences Straight forward syntax – subject to verb agreement Transitional words and phrases May repeat words or phrases to emphasize ideas More organized then informal conversation

Become a Culturally sensitive speaker Create a sense of inclusion the speaker must attempt to understand the audience’s beliefs and norms Culture - the language, beliefs, values, norms, behaviors, and even material objects that are passed from one generation to the next Ethnocentrism – (flip side of cultural sensitivity) – the belief that the ways of our own culture are superior to those of other cultures.
