10-20-15 SPCH 114 Lesson Plan OCTOBER 20TH: Socialization In class: Meyers & Anderson Ch 2 and 10, Beebe & Masterson Ch 3 and 7 Learning Objectives Accomplish tasks, build relationships, learn, gain perspectives (interpersonal needs, individual goals, group and team goals, interpersonal attraction, and group attraction). Work in a small group to identify, research, analyze, and resolve a problem and/or develop a project. o Identify, analyze, generate possible solutions, evaluateand select best option, test and implement Agenda Meeting Review Socialization Fun Activities Exercise Check out reflection 1. List at least two groups you have been a part of. 2. For each group, rate on a scale of 1-10 how close you felt to other members of the group. 1=not close at all, 10=very close 3. For each group, rate on a scale of 1-10 how good you felt about working with the group. 4. How do your numbers for steps 2 and 3 above compare? What is the relationship between your feelings for group members and feelings for working with the group, in general. 5. What kinds of things make you feel good about a group and its members? What kinds of activities help you feel closer to them? “Relational communication describes ‘the verbal and nonverbal messages that create the social fabric of a group by promoting relationships between and among members’” (Myers &Anderson 185) communication not specifically oriented toward the task . Review For today’s review, I want to ask a series of questions: What is the purpose of communication? o Exchange information o Pass along ideas o Share opinions To learn and build relationships ↓ How would your answer be different if we weren’t in a small group communication class? ↓ How do the goals of communication differ in a meeting compared to other group settings? ↓ What is communication like when people are working well together? ↓ Beebe & Masterson Chapter 3 is about why people join groups, and some of the reasons are social reasons (meet personal needs [some of which are social], personal attraction). Chapter 7 is about how to communicate effectively beyond the simple task orientation—Meyers & Anderson’s Chapter 10 is also about that and uses the term “relational communication,” which is good. Together, these chapters are talking about socialization. This is the topic of Meyers & Anderson’s Chapter 2. The main idea for today’s class is the role of the socialization process in groups. Top Fun activities A boring class exercise Step 1. List at least 15 activities that young people might like to do for fun, whether such activities are available in Kelso-Longview or not. ↓ Step 2. Rank the activities you’ve named from most inclusive to least inclusive (inclusive=they might appeal to a lot of people). ↓ Step 3. Select the five that are both pretty inclusive and something that could legitimately be done in Kelso-Longview or done better here. Top The jobs: Turn-taking monitor Your job, in addition to helping make the list, is to watch how people take turns talking. How does one indicate that they wish to speak? Hint, it’s not usually just by waiting for silence and then talking. How well do others make opportunities for others to speak? How do people indicate when they’re done speaking? How much overlap was there between one person and the next person to speak? Body language judge Your job, in addition to helping make the list, is to watch people’s body language as they participate. How many people seem to be saying, “I don’t care about this?” How do people position their bodies to welcome others to speak, or discourage others from speaking? What else do you see? Understanding-checking checker Your job, in addition to helping make the list, is to watch how people check for understanding. How often do people check to see if they understand what someone else said? How do check to see if others have understood them? How do people indicate that they understand someone? Write down one specific example of this if you can. Eye contact watcher Your job, in addition to helping make the list, is to watch how people make eye contact. When someone is speaking, note whether their eye contact is focused on just one person, different people around the group, etc… How do people respond to eye contact? What happens when someone meets eye contact? What purpose does this serve? Top Fun Socialization Book definition: “Socialization comprises a two-way process of influence … and change whereby group members use verbal and nonverbal messages to create a new and unique group culture” (Meyers & Anderson 29). Mike’s definition/translation: The process of creating a group culture through all the subtle and overt interactions of group members. ↓ Climate v. Culture What’s the difference between group climate and group culture? ↓ Notes on Socialization from texts (especially Meyers & Anderson’s Chapter 2) Motivation for joining groups: 1. 2. 3. 4. Interpersonal Needs Individual Goals Group and Team Goals Establishing Mutuality of Concern 5. Interpersonal Attraction 6. Group Attraction 1. Attraction theory 2. Interpersonal communication motives 3. Lack of volition Outcomes of socialization: 1. 2. 3. 4. Cohesion Consensus Communication satisfaction Loneliness (when the others go wrong) Other key concepts and notes from the texts: Nonverbal cues – most communication of emotion comes through nonverbal cues (Turn taking page) Posture disclosures Rapport vs. report Perception Checking Eye contact (monitoring, regulatory) Phases in group socialization o Antecedent o Anticipation o Encounter o Assimilation (aka adjustment) o Exit Top Group Climate (back to Climate v. Culture) This week, we will be talking about how one contributes to a positive group atmosphere or not. One of the best places to start to think about that is by thinking about how one listens. Empathy is another good thing to think about—Empathy is largely about judgment, and judgment is a big barrier to listening.
