“ The students will read the first sentence of each paragraph in the text. Each student is going to skim the text. (Appendix 4) Then they are going to discuss the main idea of the text in pairs. The teacher elicits answers.
Murray sets aside a paragraph for each component that writers look for in their drafts, "information", "meaning", "audience", "form", "structure", "development", "dimension", and "voice" (228-229). Each paragraph is brief, only covering the basics of the subject, but serve the greater purpose of being unnecessary. Murray deliberately makes this portion inconsequential in order to illustrate the importance of editing. Immediately afterward, Murray's words become interesting and involved, telling you only what you need to know. As Murray puts it, "Each sentence, each line, each clause, each phrase, each word, each mark of punctuation, each section of white space between the type has to contribute to the clarification of meaning."

Chapter two in the textbook Reflect & Relate an Introduction to Interpersonal Communication by Steven McCornack talks all about what “self” is and how to achieve complete fulfillment for one’s self which is also known as self-actualization. The components of self, as described in the book are, “ . . . self-awareness, self-concept, and self-esteem” (McCornack 39). Self-awareness is the idea in which one can take a moment to move feelings, beliefs, and other external influences aside and just evaluate oneself in a holistic perspective that is not skewed by opinions of others, etc. Having the ability to actually think about who one is brings a lot of power and mental stability in such a way that allows for improvement.
In the last few weeks during my internship at Dillard’s, the managers have covered the topics of how the company creates and communicate its messages. They explained how emails, meetings, and documents help distribute information from corporate down to the employees and vice versa. I found that written communication is the most prominent form of communication at Dillard’s. The electronic mailing system through Dillard’s intranet is the primary means of delivering messages among employees. Corporate has standards, quotas, rules, sales and price adjustments that arises daily in this retail environment.
Later in the book, the theme of communication shows up again, but this time in a more ironic form. People are telling their struggles and trifles to a deaf man, who doesn’t really care about what they are saying.

Interpersonal relationships can take form in many different ways and are everywhere, such as at the workplace, school, home, and even the grocery store. Interpersonal relationships consist of family, friendship, social, romantic, and online relationships; all of these relationships have one big thing in common: the element of communication. In the movie, The Notebook, the film primarily focuses on the romantic relationship between people named Noah and Allie. Upon meeting Noah, a poor man, and Allie, an upper-class woman, quickly fall in love, however, struggle with maintaining their relationship due to their social differences.

The two key topics in class in the last weeks, for me. Two of the most relevant topics developed in the last weeks were: non-verbal communication and the barriers to communication. Everytime we communicate with another person or group of people, we have to take into account some factors other than what we are actually saying that can affect how the message is going to be received: body language, tone, intonation, facial expressions, and others; this is what we understand for non-verbal communication. As we saw in class “55% of communication is body language, 38% is the tone of voice, and 7% is the actual words spoken.”

Introduction: The process of communicating successfully with our family, friends, co-workers, business associates and people is one of the most critical skills. Communication is such a key part of life that I often tell to a person that “Its no use of someone if he/she really don’t know by associates people in their work place or area of field”.

And, it is up to each of us to learn to communicate well with those who are important to us.
In society today, communication classes are highly over looked because of our new developing technology. People don’t realize how much a communication class could benefit them. We have lost sight of verbal communication skills. This class has taught me to put my phone down and communicate with others. It has opened my eyes to the real world without technology.
