Getting the Message
Learning to read facial expressions
Most of us are aware of the importance of non-verbal communication,
regardless of whether or not we have communicative difficulties. But
for those who do, they become even more important. Especially when
you consider that 55% of emotional meaning is conveyed with facial
expression, body language and gestures while only 7% is expressed
through words.
Getting the Message looks at non-verbal communication as a highly
complex and subtle language, but an essential one that students must
master. To this end, the book provides facial expression cards and
written scenarios for use in assessments as well as in teaching
activities. Students learn to read the expressions on the cards
and in the scenarios and once mastered, to generalize this
knowledge. Covers a too often neglected area that will help your
students more effectively read critical social interactions and
situations. By the author of Picture Directions, Pat Crissey.
Covered spiral bound book, 177 pp, includes
Win/Mac CD with printable PDF, 2007.
