Group Communication
Thurs., Sept. 19
We went to the computer lab and did our personality profiles. Afterwards, we returned to the classroom and put our profiles on the board and saw what type we had the most of in the class.
We are overwhelmingly a class of introverts. INFP was the most frequently found type.
At a future class, we may divide into groups to discuss the experience of being each type.
Tues., Sept. 17
We discussed nonverbal communication in small group settings. First the instructor reviewed terms from the text. We then went into small groups and the instructor handed out an envelope to each group. Each person in the group received a nonverbal communication to express in the small group. We then assessed who was the best sender and receiver.
For Thursday, we will do a personality profile. This profile will be valuable in learning how to communicate the best way to others.
Students are asked to bring a tablet or notebook. Cell phones will also work.

Discuss the writing of the paper. Show students past poetry papers. Discuss the multimedia aspect of the poetry assignment.
Some tips on writing the paper that is due Monday:
- Report more on the world events (to which the genre responds) and the psychology of the people in the movement than the history of the movement.
- Yes, the history is interesting, but avoid long lists of names. If you are going to discuss other poets in the genre, do so with some additional information about who they are and why they were attracted to the movement
- Spare us long lists of the names of poems and when the dates they were written.
- If you are writing about a form or technique, do provide examples of the metre or rhyme. Add examples

Students then went back to their regular position in the class and were given a questionnaire and were asked to answer the questions anonymously. At an upcoming class, the instructor will give the class an overview of the answers.
