1. I watched the show called Gossip Girl.
2. It's about mainly just 6 characters who live in a very high class society. They go to a private high school.
3. Serena says "It's a sandwich" when her friend made her a sandwich.
4. I learned that the characters show their personality by the way they communicate verbally or nonverbally.
1.Everybody Loves Raymond
2.Raymond is a middle aged man who lives in the same neighborhood as his parents. Raymond's dad believes a long time ago Raymond didn't beat in ping pong. Raymond insists he did, then challenges his dad and learn lots of lessons. Raymond's dad, Frank used a lot of vocal messages such as laughing or groaning and used lots of emphasis in his sentences. I realized that in television the charactors have to use a lot of vocal and nonverbal messages along with verbal messgages to make it the clearest to the audience and most entertaining.
I watched out of jimmy's head. Jimmy enters the school talent show because he thinks that if he wins he will be the most popular kid in school. In the end, he doesn't win so that his friend comes back. Jimmy uses verbal and vocal communication when he raps.I learned that communication is very important for a tv show.
1. I watched the show FRIENDS.
2. In this episode, Monica found her perfect wedding dress, and when she went to get it at the discount store, another woman who had met her the day before, tried to take it from her. Ross and Joey met the same girl, Christie, on the same day, but did not know it, and Phoebe and Rachel helped Chandler and Monica with their wedding plans.
3.One message that Joey used was to roll his eyes and stick out his tongue. This was a nonverbal message that indicated good taste of the food he had just eaten.
4.The one thing that I learned is that there are a lot of nonverbal messages in the show FRIENDS.
i watched family guy. in this episode peter finds and ancient skull in his backyard. and it caused evil spirits to haunt him. finally he realizes he needs to put the skull back but he lost it. so he finds it and puts it back. it was really funny!!!!!!
1. I watched the show Hannah Montana
2. It is about a girl named Miley Stewart who is also a Pop star in disguise(Hannah Montana).
3. Jackson says "WHAT?" when Miley wants to tell her dad the truth.
4. I learned that in order to interpret a message clearly, you have to use expression and sometimes nonverbal actions in addition to verbal communication.
The tv show i watched last night was called LIFE OF RYAN !the episode was about ryans little brother kane gets upset because he isnt spending much time with ryan and he thinks he invisable to him,also ryan wants a new girl friend and so he asks his friend tony if it is ok to date his ex and tony says he doesnt really care so now ryan is dating julia.
an exple of a messege is at one point kane starts to cr and thats a vocal message.
i learned that charecters connect in all three ways of communication.
I watched Friends for the assignment. Friends is about six friends who live in the same building and some share rooms. The show is about their problems, and it is really funny. One of the messages that I wrote down was Ross yelling "I have sting tickets!" The vocal message was that he was very excited, and he was showing the tickets to Phoebe, which is a nonverbal message. I learned that T.V. shows rely on good acting, so that the message they are trying to send is acurate. Without good acting, people won't understand what the message is, and the show will not be good.
1. South park, Make love not warcraft
2.Cartman, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny all get addicted to warcraft and they get killed by a huge nerd who has absolutley no life. The episode is about how they defeat this nerd, with the help of Blizzard entertainment.
3.Cartman was problably the mose communicative. he used alot of verbal messages, and vocal messages.
4.I learned that animated shous can have just as many forms of communication as any other kind of show.
1. Everybody Loves Raymond
2. Raymond is funny middle aged man who lives across the street from his family. Ramonds father is a terrible driver and raymond doesn't want him driving the kids around. At the end raymonds dad was taking the kids to a movie and raymond said he wanted to go and rymonds dad let him drive knowing he was a terrible driver.
3.I learned that there was many ways to communicate nonverbally.
I watched an episode of HEROES from last season. I can't wait until the new season starts on MONDAY!!!!!!!!! Episode Summary: A mind reader and a dude who can burn things goes to Mr. Bennett's house to get some answers about their "abilities." The dude who burns things blows up his house. Luckily, everyone survives. YAY! One message used during the show was Mrs. Bennett's reaction to her daughter, Claire, getting shot. "No! No! What did you do?" *weeps over her daughter* As I said before, nobody dies. Claire can heal herself. Yay again. this show is a bit too happy. or maybe it isn't. Hmmmm. I learned that maybe i shouldn't watch the same episode over and over on my ipod.
I watch Life With Derek. The show was about two spet siblings who get the same job at the same place. Derek (who is a slacker) does a better job at waitressing than Cassey (she's a perfectionest). Derek get impolyed to assitant maneger and he has to fire Cassey.
An example of what a character said is this. Cassey said "YOU'RE FIREING ME?!" her vocal message was dissapoitment/sadness/madness. Her nonverbal message was a shocked look on her face.
I learned in this homework assinment was that all these messages are around us, and they are very important in our society.
1. I watched the show Still Standing.
2. During the show Lauren(daughter) was studying with her boyfriend and they fell asleep. Bill(dad) was getting a midnight snack and caught Chris(boyfriend) sneaking out of the house at midnight. Bill was mad although they were only studying and nothing had happend.
3. Judy said "If you go up there its going to turn into a yelling match." when Bill was going to go upstairs and talk to Lauren.
4. I learned that the character use nonverbal and verbal communication to make things more interessing to watch because if they talked in a monotone voice it would get boring.
Last night for the activity I watched a show call Life of Ryan. It is about a porfessional skateboarder and his life. In the episode last night Ryan wasnt including his little seven year old brother, Kane in anything Ryan did. Kane said he felt invisble to Ryan. Ryan felt bad so he made it up to Kane by speniding a whole day with just Kane at Legoland.Ryan said he was sorry he coudldn't hang out with Kane. The way he said it there was a very sad tone in his voice and his facial expression looked very sad and serious. I learned that when characters talk in different ways they have a different meaning. And they show they feelings using different types of messages orforms of communication.
1. I watched Andy Griffith: Andy Discovers America.
2. In this episode, Andy's son, Opie, decides that he doesnt have to do his history homework because his dad said that it was hard for him, too. The teacher, Mrs. Krump, comes to see Andy about Opie and yells at him for "telling Opie he didnt have to do his homework" and "destroying the progress she had made with the class". To convince Opie to work harder, Andy tells OPie and his friends about the shot heard 'round the world. Opie and his friends get really excited about all the other stuff in their history books. THey even form a history club; The Mayberry Minute-men: Always ready with the Answers.
