Informal Reflection
Instead, just move on to rethinking ideas or
Concepts from Chapter 4 and use this writing exercise to gain more clarity and a deeper understanding of them. Think of these letters as personal letters you write to yourself and your classmates.
The idea here is to think of the week’s readings, exercises, content, discussions and also apply them to different experiences of interpersonal communication in your personal, professional or academic life. You don’t have to answer all of these questions; I’m just sharing them to help give you a boost, if needed.
What is the most useful idea in these readings?
What thought elicited the greatest emotional reaction? why?
How does one idea or concept relate to your communication in your workplace? Your personal contacts? your academic life?
What idea/ideas do you strongly disagree with?
Where are you confused? why?
How do the ideas covered this week relate to other classes you have studied recently?
Do any of the ideas you read about apply to the books, movies, or TV shows you’ve read or watched recently?
What idea would you like to know more about? why?
