Week
Three - 10 August 2003
Communication Techniques
 Use
these resources
in the classroom in conjunction with the double-page spread from
The Sunday Times ChillOut! liftout on Sunday August 10,
2003.
This week we will investigate the role played by gestures and
body movement in the world of communication.
There
are many such examples seen in everyday life. The most common of
these are facial expressions. A smile says a lot about how a
person is feeling - so does a frown! Other examples include
waving hello or goodbye and shaking hands as a form of
introduction.
Even in the animal world, gestures and body movements are vital
for communication. Think of the feathers on the tail of a
peacock, when a dog bares its teeth, or when a gorilla beats its
chest. All these are well known forms of non-verbal
communication.
