1. What specific forms of non-verbal communication were observed and
provide
Creative WritingTASKInstructionsWe have been learning about non-verbal communication
this week, and now it’s time to observe it in the real world!Think about a time when you
were in aconversation or on a video call with someoneand they were talking about one
thing, but perhaps their facial expressions or bodylanguage were delivering a different
message.Perhaps you have even noticed this about your own patterns of
communication.Consider what their facial expressions were saying, what type of emotion
did you see? Were there feelings or attitudes (positive, loving, excited) that you noticed?For
this assignment, you will use your knowledge of non-verbal communication to conduct an
observation of an interaction between two or more people.Follow the steps below for
details about the required components of your assignment.Step 1In Step 1, you will take
some time to observe an interaction between two or more people whom you are unfamiliar
with for a 5 to 15 minute period. Reflect on the non-verbal communication and document
any or all of the nonverbal behaviors discussed in class that you see. This is including but
not limited to gestures, posture, body orientation, facial expressions, eye contact patterns,
haptics, proxemics, appearance, etc.You may visit a public place where you are likely to
observe people interacting or you can watch a new TV show episode or unfamiliar movie
with the volume muted and captions off.Connect with your instructor if you have an idea
that is not listed here.You should be very specific in identifying not only the nonverbal
behaviors but also the function they serve in the interaction.In a typed document, provide
an overview of the context of your scenario. Explain the following:What was the setting of
your observation?What type of relationship do you believe these individuals have?Was this
a positive or negative interaction?WhyWhat are some things that stood out to you?Now that
you have provided an overview of the context, let’s move to step 2.Step 2For the second
step in this assignment, let’s consider the context of the interaction(s) you observed.In the
same typed document from Step 1, also answer all of the following questions:What specific
forms of non-verbal communication were observed and provide some specific
examples?What would you suggest to the participants that you observed to change in the
future in terms of their nonverbal communications or behavior? If you have no suggestions,
explain why you feel no changes are needed.What lessons can you apply in your own non-
verbal communication in the future?Which of the non-verbal behaviors displayed did you
connect with the most? Why?Now that you have completed Step 2, let’s consider visuals to

2. further enhance your thoughts.Step 3Now, include 3 to 4 supporting images that display the
non-verbal communication that you have observed and enhance your thoughts of those
observations. Some of these images can include non-verbal behaviors such as gestures that
were impactful to you, facial expressions that show emotion, or posture that conveyed
confidence. You do not have to take the images; they can be found through different images
resources on the Internet.
