In our work and personal lives, we need to be able to identify and analyze effective verbal and nonverbal
communication in various situations. In the same way that you would analyze a work or personal life
communication situation, you will be asked to create a short presentation (using media choices below) about
the nonverbal communication demonstrated in a series of photographs. In addition to identifying aspects of
nonverbal communication, you will also need to show how these elements can affect communication both
positive and negatively. Include your observations of how nonverbal elements that you see alter the direction of
communication.
1. Select four of included photographs.
2. Using either PowerPoint or Prezi, create a presentation that demonstrates your comprehension regarding
these communication elements: Please include the following:
3. Four slides that explain aspects of the nonverbal communication that you see depicted in the photographs. 2
paragraphs per photo. Be sure to include the photograph on the slide. Be as specific and detailed as possible
in your description of body language, facial expression, physical distance (if applicable), gesture, and other
aspects of nonverbal communication that you see. Include speaker notes
4. Using Screencast-o-matic (screencast-o-matic.com) or similar software, create a short video presentation of
your PowerPoint or Prezi. Explain in detail the nonverbal elements of communication that you observe in each
of the four photographs you have selected.
