Scientific Inquiry so far.....

In the last couple of weeks we have done several activities relating to different methods of communication. We translated a sentence from spanish to english, played charades, wrote in different forms such as print, cursive and typed, drew a picture, made paper footballs, played a paper football tournament, and played cat's cradle. Each of these activities used one of more forms of communication. Cat's cradle required verbal direction as well as a visual demonstration. I have learned from this class that all forms of communication are crucial to get even the simplest idea across. This was a very valuable lesson becuase I can use my forms of communication more efficiantly while communicating. For example, a person who learns best by example should not be given only verbal instructions. That is one reason why being skilled in all levels of communication is so important. I can show people of all learning types how to do something if I know how to use all my different methods of communication effectively.
