Conversations – the Good and the Bad

Description:

In this assignment, you will review our reading resources on conversations. You will create videos that demonstrate good and bad examples of people engaging in conversation, drawing from your experience, explaining tips about how to make small talk, make an apology, and give and receive a compliment.

Objectives:

Explore and practice the elements of conversation.
Analyze guidelines for making small talk and other aspects of everyday conversation.
Instructions:

Review our reading resources for Module 6.
Create four separate 60-second videos TikTok style. In each video, demonstrate a bad then a good example of the following:
making small talk
making an apology
giving a compliment
receiving a compliment
You can record your videos in the classroom.
Connect your observations and experiences to a scholarly source like our textbook.
Integrate textbooks citations into your response underneath each video, explain what you did right and wrong in two to four sentences per video

You do not need special software for this, but some people prefer apps such as Canva Links to an external site. (Link will open in new tab.).
If for any reason you choose not to create the videos, you can write a two- to three-page paper, not counting the title page and the references page, describing your good and bad recommendations.
