Nonverbal Communication

Appoint one person to write down the items, phrases, etc. that players must draw. This person will also serve as the timer and as a referee, making sure players follow the rules and resolving any disputes. Divide the players into teams, with at least two people on each team. Let the teams choose a name and then provide each team with plenty of paper and a pencil or pen for each player. After deciding which team goes first, have a member of that team draw a slip of paper from a box, bag, or basket with a word or phrase on it. When the referee says, “Go!” the designated team player draws the word or phrase and their team guesses the meaning of what is drawn. The time limit is one minute. If their team correctly guesses the word, they receive one point. The other team repeats this process.

Rules: seconds to look at the clue; 1 minute

No letters, No numbers, No speaking, No answering verbal questions unless it pertains to the drawing. And then you have to draw the answers--again no words, numbers, letters

No pointing

You may use slashes to indicate how many words and syllables in each word

An X may be used for location 

Draw the ear for Sounds Link

Draw a check if they answer correct a minus if they are wrong.  No pointing or nodding.

If your team doesn't get the picture, the next team will have 15 seconds to guess the answer for double points.

Nonverbal communication

Today we are going to use our acting abilities to demonstrate body language and nonverbal communication.

Team scores:

1. First place 10 points

Demonstration Speech

Demonstration Speech Background: There are many instances in Public Speaking situations where you will have to share something with an audience that may have very little to no experience with your subject. The most common type of speech to share information is the demonstration speech. A demonstration speech is a type of informative speech designed to impart to the audience information they can use to replicate a process or understand a process-oriented idea. It teaches the essential steps in completing a task or process and REQUIRES visual aids to illustrate part of the process. For this speech, you will demonstrate something to an audience in order to inform them. Your time limit is 5 minutes minimum.  Purpose: The purpose of this speech is to organize a speech chronologically, explain a process to others in a clear manner, prepare and use visual aids, and identify the best means of fitting available material into a limited time frame  Audience: The audience for your speech is your peers and the teacher for evaluation.  Task: The key to a successful presentation is delivery and topic choice. The demonstration speech is one where you need to choose a topic that you know a lot about and your audience does not. Keep in mind your environment. Your speech/topic should allow you to present information AND also demonstrate it.  Procedure: Check off items as you complete them. 1.  Choose your topic wisely. Select something that you know a lot about and can demonstrate effectively. Consider hobbies, interests, etc. Avoid trivial topic like how to make a sandwich. Narrow the topic to fit the time limit. Consider topic such as how to take good  photographs, how to give first aid, how to plan a vacation, how to bake a cake. **Note, if you choose food, you will be responsible for bringing in enough to present and share with the entire class. 2.  Work on your outline  Outline 3.  Chronologically place each step and clearly describe the process 4.  Identify the visual aids/items you will need for each step 5.  Finalize your outline with the intro/conclusion 6.  Rehearse your speech aloud, but don't memorize it word for word 7.  You may use a maximum of 3 notecards-front only 8.  Practice your speech with someone else and see if they can follow the instructions 9.  Make sure you are using a conversational voice and vocal variety Deadlines:  Outlines are due by Thursday, 11/14 Practice: Friday and Monday (11/15 and 11/18) Tuesday, 11/19: Notecards and final practice Wednesday - Friday (11/19-11/21):  Presentations Pay special attention to the skills listed here: Eye contact Story telling - specific details make for better stories Prepared/rehearsed introduction and conclusion No dead air - talk to us throughout the process Rubric Critique Mario YouTube Video What does Mario do that's so effective as a demonstration speech? He is an expert in his content, which allows him to 'multi-task' He uses tangents to be interesting and to have something to say while he's cooking He gives the audience details about his subject little background information we'd find interesting these bits are likely prepared and thought of ahead of time ingredients/materials are prepared ahead of time and ready to be used He has obviously practiced he's not "thinking" about what he's doing, he's just doing it He doesn't over-narrate over-describing would be boring, so he tells stories and gives interesting information as we watch his hands Like a television sports' announcer, he realizes we can see what he's doing example 2 https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=directions+for+how+to+speeches&view=detail&mid=97A4BF673A518436092D97A4BF673A518436092D&FORM=VIRE Topic Ideas A brainstormed list of ideas for your demonstration speeches: Cook something give directions from one point in the school to another, with three random stops along the way.
