Does it limit or enhance our understanding of communication to view nonverbal communication as that which is not verbal communication? Explain your answer and discuss with the class.

Choose a television personality you admire. What do you like about this person? Watch several minutes of this person with the sound turned off, and make notes of the nonverbal expressions you observe. Turn the sound back on and make notes of their tone of voice, timing, and other audible expressions. Discuss your results with a classmate.

Find a program that focuses on microexpressions and write a brief summary of how they play a role in the program. Share and compare with classmates.

Create a survey that addresses the issue of which people trust more, nonverbal or verbal messages. Ask an equal number of men and women and compare your results with those of your classmates.

Search for information on the reliability and admissibility of results from polygraph (lie detector) tests. Share your findings with classmates.

See how long and how much you can get done during the day without the use of verbal messages.
