1 Non-verbal Communication Part 1

We will watch part of a college communication class presentation about non-verbal communication.

Try to catch the main ideas, important details, and organization of the information in notes.

You can write them by hand, or type them if you are very fast. The important thing is to:

• catch important information
• write with short phrases or symbols and abbreviations (not full sentences)
• use some kind of organization to make the notes easy to follow (for example, write the ideas in a list)

For this first part you only need to watch 11 minutes of the video — you don’t need to finish the whole thing.

Share your notes with your teacher by email or phone.
