Communication Arts and Literature - Apollo



Interpersonal Communications
We speak with our mouths, but we communicate with our entire bodies. In fact, experts say that as much as 93% of communication is nonverbal. To truly understand and have effective communication with others (interpersonal communication) we must learn to read body language as well as interpret their spoken words. However, it is impossible to have effective communication with others if we do not first understand ourselves and the messages we send nonverbally and verbally. This course will offer a more in depth study of the process of communications. Units of study will include the communication model, inter/intrapersonal communication,listening, and group discussion.

Assignments
We are currently working on individual goals based on the results of our communication assessment completed in class. We will continue with an introduction to the communication model and listening unit during the next 2 cycles. Further, we will begin a communications journal and continue to utilize daily vocabulary.
