After a short blurb about an online French course from Monique Bournot-Trites [monique.bournot-trites@ubc.ca] we got down to the heart of the matter.
Both Dave and I developed a mini-workshop related to communication – Dave covered nonverbal and I touched on verbal. We wedged all we could into the 40 minutes we had for each session. You’ll find our lesson plans/notes for each lesson below:
For easy reference, here are the video clips associated with Dave’s presentation:

Also, you’ll find the video clips associated with my presentation below (along with two bonus clips – one from Miss Teen South Carolina 2007 and another from George W. Bush. Need I say more?):
