Second Nonverbal Journal Analysis (15%)
You will keep a journal in which you describe and analyze a nonverbal communication event that occurred in your life or that you observed. You may NOT use a movie or television clip, but rather an actual real life experience that you had. Use an experience that you actually participated in personally. Your assignment should be a minimum of three full single spaced pages using a size 12 Times New Roman font. Your journal entry should specifically address the nonverbal categories of physical appearance, kinesics, facial behavior, eye behavior, vocal behavior, touch, space/ territoriality/proxemics, and environment/space including olfactics. The journal entry should revolve around one of your daily life experiences and should clearly demonstrate your knowledge of course material and your ability to apply what you have learned in your analysis of your nonverbal communication event. Your submission should be rich with terminology, classifications, theories, styles, research findings, etc. and how they specifically relate to your nonverbal communication event. Use in-text APA citations where appropriate. Please take a look at the attached file that contains a high quality sample second journal entry.
For this assignment you must analyze a personal situation when nonverbal behavior played a significant role or somehow caught your attention. You may not use the same personal situation that you used in your first nonverbal journal analysis. You must select a new situation.
The journal entry should include:
1. Title Page: A separate title page with the title of your paper, your name, SPCH 472, and the date (pagination beginning in the upper right hand corner) consistent with APA format
2. Description of Nonverbal Experience: A detailed description of the nonverbal experience (the situation ) – do not provide analysis just a sound description of the interaction -at least ½ page
3. Nonverbal Communication Analysis: Your analysis of how nonverbal communication relates to this situation (apply what you have learned from the Weekly Learning Resources, discussions, and weekly powerpoint slides to the experience – specifically examining physical appearance, kinesics, facial behavior, eye behavior, vocal behavior, touch, space/ territoriality/proxemics, and environment/space including olfactics. Be sure to use APA in-text citations to reference the text. You must cite a minimum of 10 sources (stronger papers will use more) from the Weekly Learning Resources and weekly PowerPoint slideshows. You may use a few outside sources if necessary (this is not a requirement), but the vast majority of your material should come from the eResources/PowerPoint slideshows provided in the classroom. Also highlight or bold the concepts, principles, theories, etc. from the weekly learning resources, discussions, and weekly PowerPoint slides – at least 2 full pages
4. Personal Response/Reaction Explanation: What your response/reaction was to the situation and why -What were your thoughts and perceptions? How did you react verbally and/or nonverbally? Why did you respond or react in such a manner? –at least ¼ page
5. Lessons Learned/The Big Picture: What you learned about the codes (all the nonverbal categories that you examined) and how it applies to the situation? Most importantly, present the big picture of what this taught you about nonverbal communication- Be sure to address each nonverbal code individually –at least ¼ page
6. Reference Page: This page should be in APA format and contain full references for all of the sources that you specifically cited in the body of your paper. Only those sources cited in the body of your paper should be found on your references page.
