InstructionsUsing concepts learned in Module 2, write a 2-3 page paper in which you
analyze your ineffective verbal and/or nonverbal communication in a recent serious and/or
meaningful conversation with another person (ex. coworker, parent, significant other,
friend). Discuss the context and conversation in detail. What happened before the
conversation or situation? What happened afterward? What was your intention and what
was the result?. You should draw from course content regarding interpersonal
communication to explain the situation. Your paper should be submitted via the link
provided and divided into the following paragraphs:INTRODUCTION – Briefly describe the
context and the situation. Who were the people involved? What happened before and after
the interaction?PART 1 – Critical ThinkingWhat type of verbal or nonverbal communication
did you engage in?Why did you communicate the way that you did?What have your past
experiences been with or without the other people involved (ex. Has this happened before?
If so, with who? The same people or different?)Where did their reaction stem from? How do
you know this?PART 2 – Personal ResponsibilityIdentify your core beliefs and provide
supporting details to explain how they connect to your methods of communicating (verbal
and nonverbal communication).Give examples of when your verbal and nonverbal behavior
did not match when communicating with others (ex. Facial expressions were expressing
sadness, but verbal words were telling others “I’m great”). Has there been a time when
someone has used a different method than what you are used to?What parts of your verbal
and nonverbal communication have been developed by you and What parts were developed
by others (where did you learn how to communicate that way. Ex. I learned how to be
sarcastic because of my older brother)? How so?PART 3 – Knowledge GainedWhat could
you have done differently to make the communication more effective, but in this context
and in the future? How could your verbal and nonverbal communication have been better
understood or more clearly communicated?How could or how has that situation affected
the relationship with the people involved?CONCLUSION – Restate your thesis and provide a
brief recap of your paper. Paper should be in APA format including a cover page and
reference pageShould be written in 12 point font, Times New Roman, double-spaced, and 1
inch marginsIdeas explained should be relevant and consistent to illustrate
