Phrases including can't, don't, didn't, won't it were t be re-worded into a more positive phrase 
 In this activity, I noticed myself having to stop and think of how to rephrase my thoughts so that I would be able to avoid negative language.

An example of a negative phrase I used was "I didn't like how small my room was" 

I fixed this by instead saying "Despite crammed accommodations..."]]> 2019-11-18 19:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/412951843 DFR https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/412959712 The problem with speaking using negative terms is that it can make others perceive you in a negative way. 
When constantly using words such as can't, don't, didn't, won't it makes other people perceive you as lethargic and pessimistic which can turn people off from interacting with you]]> 2019-11-18 19:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/412959712 DFR https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/412965128 When sending a message there is a stage where the receiver must interpret the message. When using negative communication the reciever could get offended or upset depending on the subject of conversation and the way in which the message is conveyed. ]]> 2019-11-18 19:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/412965128 DFR https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/412969199 2019-11-18 19:35:27 UTC https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/412969199 DFR https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/412972380 2019-11-18 19:39:56 UTC https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/412972380 DFR https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/412975002 To choose the "X" in this activity, non-verbal communication such as body language must be considered as my partner choose to say yes for every sheet making it impossible to trust the verbal communication

When doing this activity, I choose the X at the very end because my partner looked away when saying yes to the paper, it turned out to have the X. By looking away for only that paper it was obvious that it had to be that piece because otherwise the eye contact would be persistent]]> 2019-11-18 19:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/412975002 DFR https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/413366530 This activity required strong communication and clear description in order to transfer the information of how my picture looked accurately enough that my partner could replicate it. When I was drawing based off of what my partner was explaining certain words like medium were not descriptive enough which caused the pictures to not be identical. Using shapes made it easier because it is easy to describe a shape and what shape it is near.]]> 2019-11-19 14:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/413366530 DFR https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/414648711 Body language accounts for 93% of communication and facial expression is 58% of communication through body language.
Eye contact conveys the message that you are focused, confident, and honest. When maintaining proper eye contact people will note that you are listening to what they have to say which would make you more personable.
If eye contact is not used correctly or at all it can make you appear as bored, uninterested, and dishonest. This is what happened in the activity. My partner was maintaining proper eye contact but when I asked for the middle paper she looked away from me and would not make eye contact. ]]> 2019-11-21 14:13:10 UTC https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/414648711 DFR https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/414674702 The way a speaker phrases their sentence is the process of encoding. If a message is not encoded properly, the message will be unclear which will cause the receiver to perceive the message differently than what was originally intended. Depending on the context of what is being talked about encoding a message poorly could potentially offend the receiver and end the conversation on bad terms. ]]> 2019-11-21 14:43:27 UTC https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/414674702 DFR https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/414692129 2019-11-21 15:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/414692129 DFR https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/416008853 2019-11-25 06:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/416008853 DFR https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/416009342 2019-11-25 06:50:10 UTC https://padlet.com/DFR/BOHConceptBoard/wish/416009342
