Hopefully, you still have some class time available to try the whole process yourself from start to finish.  You will read five short passages and write a short composition, between 300-500 words, on the significance of non-verbal communication.

Your work will be evaluated using the following rubric:

Ask your instructor for a paper copy of the reading passages, or download them here:

Here is a blank synthesis matrix you can fill with the information from your sources (you can also ask your instructor for a paper copy).  You don’t need to fill all the columns with subtopics.  Identify suitable subtopics for these passages yourself.

When you have finished, submit your work in Blackboard.
