As a part of working on the Focus on
Children STAR Event, visit a child care
center and observe the way teachers
communicate with the children. Notice the
way children communicate with one another.
Write recommendations for eliminating any
communication barriers you observe.
Electronic communication is fast and
convenient. Many people don’t think before
they hit the “Send” button. Give examples
of electronic communication pitfalls and
prepare a list of guidelines to follow to
avoid them. Document how electronic
communication can both help and hinder
a career. Add your list of guidelines to
your portfolio.
You hear footsteps coming closer.
You turn and see your best friend walk into
the room. His shoulders are slumped and
his arms are folded. One of his hands is
clenched in a fi st. He is frowning, and he
avoids making eye contact with you.
Write About It: What nonverbal messages
are being sent? What would be your
response to these messages?
Prepare your response using the Journal
Writing guide at the website.
