I thought it presented a lot of known information. I dont think that it was so cheezy to make it interesting but kind of wasn't But overall it was an O.K. Movie.

GAGALOVER said...

This video was very infomative. I thought the acting was horrible,but the information that was given was a nice review for the upcoming test.

Emma C said...

one thing that I already knew was that you use your whole body when you communicate. One thing that I did not know before was that the way you say something comes out as the same thing.ex: acting confident projects as confident.

David K (1/2 B) said...

I Learned that the rate is the speed of the words that you are speaking.

NoviceLD said...

I already knoew that body language and expression were big parts of communication

I learned what an open posture is.

monica o (1/2 B) said...

One thing that I already knew before the movie was that a good listener doesn't interupt and one thing I learned during the movie was that the quality of voice sets the tone of the conversation.

i already knew that slouching and looking away means that you are bored and tired.

i did not know that people are more afraid of public speaking then death

Fresa S. said...

I didn't like the movie that much but it was a good review for the test. One thing that I already knew was that you communicate with your whole body. One thing that I learned from the movie is that 35% of the speaker's message is impacted with what the receiver sees.

I knew that tone, your volume changed the message a lot.

I learned that people can get very very scared if they talk in front of others

I think it was weird, and cheesy. =p

Michelle L. (LRT 5/6B) said...

I thought that this video was cheesy-but that made it more enjoyable to watch. I learned that when communicating, people pay most attention to you visually (if your slouching, crossing arms, yawning..). But I already new that confidence is a huge key when you talk because other people will see that you have self-esteem and that you have something to say.

Matt H (LRT 1/2 A) said...

It taught me alot of informitative information. The acting was horrible.

I learned that public speaking is the #1 fear for most people and I knew that actions speak louder than words.

Personally, I didnt much care for the video. I knew most of that stuff already. However, the point that body language, tone and words all have to be the same for communication to seem believable.

Brian B (1/2 B) said...

I learned from the video that a good listener doesn't judge the speaker until the entire message is heard. One thing that I already knew is that acting confident can make you confident.

Yes, I do agree with you in multiple ways Mr.Buckley. 1)This was a very educational video. 2) Horrible acting.
