Once Upon a Time
Imagine that you are an author writing a short story focused on the types of nonverbal communication. These types of nonverbal communication include:
• Face and Eyes
• Posture
• Gestures
• Touch
• Voice
• Distance
• Territoriality
• Time
• Physical Attractiveness
• Clothing
• Physical environment
Based on this information, write a one-page short story (double-spaced with 10-12 point font) which includes at least 3 characters. In it, include five channels of nonverbal communication used by the characters (see details below).
In your fictional story, decide who does what to whom and when. Include a beginning, middle and ending to the story. Provide situational specificity in your explanation by explaining the time period and geographic location of the setting and the specific situation the characters are in.
Examples of possible themes:
A batter, umpire and manager argue over a called third strike;
A bride, groom and the officiating member of the clergy in a wedding ceremony;
A mom, her son and the pediatrician at the boy’s first annual check-up;
A state trooper, a teen-age driver, and his girlfriend after being pulled over for allegedly speeding; and
A judge, the prosecuting attorney and the defendant in a judicial cross-examination
• Your paper must be typed and double spaced.
• The paper must also be proofread, and mistakes in grammar, spelling, sentence structure, formatting and other areas of paper mechanics should be kept to a minimum.
