This week’s assignment was to watch a television show with no
sound in order to zone in on non-verbal communication. I decided to watch a
show on Disney channel called “Ant F.A.R.M”. For those of you who have never
heard of this show, it is about a group of tween aged children who are
attending an advanced academics program at a local high school even though they
are much younger than their high school aged peers.
While watching the show with no sound, I noticed that the
characters use facial expressions and body movements to convey may verbal
signals. I could pretty much understand everything that was going on, just by
watching their physical behaviors.
This helped me to realize that our body language says a lot. I
will be more mindful of my body language, especially during staff meetings (J) to insure that I am not sending the wrong
signals.
