I need to create a communication model in my speech class. My characters are Scout and Jem (TKAM) I need to write a communication model script. It should have these words in them: Context, message, feedback, channel, Encode, Decode, receiver, sender, paralanguage, interference, proxemics, and a nonverbal symbol). I know all of these words, but I don't know how to make my scene. I need dialogues.
Please Help. I Really need to finish this!! Please HElp!!!
Helppp pleaseeeee
I don't understand. Are Scout and Jem supposed to use those words?
Please try to explain about a communication model and exactly what you are supposed to do.
Ex: If Jem is talking to Scout but Scout is daydreaming then that would be an interference.
This is what I wrote But I need to add some quotes and make it longer and this script that I wrote doesn't make sense. I will read this script and explain how I did my poster. Please Help.
Scout: I am the sender when I speak I use a channel. The channel is my voice. I encode my message to Jem. I will put my word in a sentence so that Jem will understand. In this case message being sent is “ Lets roll in the tire”.
Jem: I then decode the message because I am the receiver. Since I can hear Scout I decode my message through a feedback and I’ll say: “You know I am too big”. If I was using paralanguage instead I would say “ YOU KNOW I AM TOO BIG!”
Scout: I then receive Jem’s feedback and decode it by telling him: “ You can push.” There is no interference to interrupt our communication but if there was it could've been a car passing by or a plane flying over hap.
Jem: I will use a nonverbal symbol to push the tire. Since Scout is rolling in the tire and I am pushing it we must be really close to each other so our proxemics is about 2 to 3 feet away.
That looks like a great start.
But it should be longer at least 2 min. Is there a ways I can add something else. Like quotes.
Yes -- some quotes is a good idea.
I'd be happy to help you create a communication model script for your speech class. Let's start by understanding the key terms you mentioned:
1. Context: This refers to the circumstances or situation in which communication takes place. It includes factors like location, time, social norms, and cultural background.
2. Message: This is the information being conveyed from the sender to the receiver. It can be verbal or nonverbal.
3. Feedback: Feedback is the response or reaction from the receiver to the sender's message. It helps ensure that the intended meaning is accurately understood.
4. Channel: The channel is the means through which communication occurs. It can be verbal (e.g., face-to-face conversation, phone call) or nonverbal (e.g., gestures, facial expressions).
5. Encode: Encoding is the process of converting thoughts or ideas into a message that can be understood by others. It involves selecting words, tone, body language, and other elements.
6. Decode: Decoding is the process of interpreting the encoded message by the receiver. It involves understanding and assigning meaning to the received message.
7. Receiver: The receiver is the person or audience to whom the message is directed. They receive and interpret the message.
8. Sender: The sender is the person who initiates or starts the communication process by encoding and transmitting the message.
9. Paralanguage: Paralanguage refers to nonverbal elements such as tone of voice, pitch, volume, and other vocal cues that convey meaning alongside the actual words spoken.
10. Interference: Interference refers to any obstacles or disturbances that hinder effective communication. It can include noise, distractions, cultural differences, or even personal biases.
11. Proxemics: Proxemics refers to the study of how humans use and interpret space during communication. It involves understanding personal space, territoriality, and physical distance.
12. Nonverbal symbol: A nonverbal symbol is a gesture, body movement, or sign that conveys meaning without the use of words.
Now, let's create a scene that incorporates these elements. Imagine Scout and Jem engaging in a conversation about a school project. Here's an example dialogue:
Scene: Scout and Jem are in Scout's room, discussing their project.
Scout: (sender) Hey Jem, I've been thinking about our school project. Let's talk about it.
Jem: (receiver) Sure, I'm all ears. What's on your mind?
Scout: (message) I think we should focus on the historical context of "To Kill a Mockingbird" and how it reflects social issues of that time.
Jem: (channel) Sounds good. We can gather information from the book and research the historical events of that period.
Scout: (encode) Right, we can create a timeline to visually represent the events and their significance. And when presenting, we should speak clearly and maintain eye contact.
Jem: (decode) So, you mean we need to summarize the main events, explain their relevance, and make sure our body language portrays confidence?
Scout: (feedback) Exactly! We should also consider paralanguage, like adjusting our tone to emphasize important points and using appropriate facial expressions to convey our emotions.
Jem: (interference) Yeah, we should be aware of outside distractions and try to eliminate any background noise during our presentation.
Scout: (proxemics) Agreed. We need to practice our spatial arrangement, giving the audience their personal space but ensuring they can hear and see us clearly.
Jem: (nonverbal symbol) Additionally, we could use visual aids like charts or images to add more impact to our presentation.
In this dialogue, you can see how Scout and Jem incorporate the different concepts from the communication model. Feel free to modify the dialogues, add more details, or tailor it to your specific assignment requirements.
I hope this example helps you finish your script successfully! Good luck with your speech class!
