CMST 2220 Interpersonal Communication Storycorps Reflection Assignment
I’m studying for my Communications class and need an explanation.
Storycorps Reflection Assignment
Directions:
- Go to the Storycorps.org website. Browse through the stories and individual topics. You must first select the “Stories” link up at the top left of the homepage.
- View several stories and find one that you can relate to and would like to write a connective piece about. I would like for you to listen to the stories, instead of reading the transcripts. Listening to the stories audibly will allow you to experience the rich non-verbal’s of tone of voice, vocal rate, emphasis on words, pitch, volume, and most importantly allow you to digest the emotional undertone of the individuals speaking.
- Write your connective piece by answering the below questions about your chosen story by copying and pasting the questions on a separate page and type your responses. I am expecting between 1-2 paragraphs for each question.
- List and explain at least 2 personal connections you found to the story you chose?
- What did you find to be the most surprising aspect about the story you chose? Why?
- Name at least one great lesson, piece of awareness, or aspect of empathy that you received from listening to your story. Explain your example.
