Step 5:
Ms. Galvan: Danny, next time someone accidently ignores you instead of using your hands to get their attention you are going to use your maners and ask nicely. Do you think we can add to our plan or do you like the way it is?
Danny: I like the plan, and I am going to say sorry to Silvia.
Follow up (Step 6 & Step 7):
The following day, Danny and Silvia were faced with the same challenge when it came to sharing the crayon box. This time Danny used his manners to ask for his special crayon, and was more patient with Silvia.
Ms. Galvan: Hello Silvia and Danny, how are you working together during journal time?
Danny: Ok, Silvia and I are not fighting over the crayons anymore because we share. Silvia: Yeah! But sometimes I have to wait a long time for Danny to finish with the blue. That’s his favorite color.
Ms. Galvan: Silvia, I like how patient you are being, that shows me you are being a good leader. Danny I like how you are using your manners to ask Silvia for the blue. Good Job!
Danny: We don’t fight anymore because we put the crayons in the middle and we ask each other nicely for the

    We believe our communication ethics position (assuming that we have understood this concept and chapter, though we acknowledge that we may not) is in coordination. Distancing ourselves slightly from choosing a particular author that matches our style the most, our highest understanding of the text was in the discussion of dialogical coordination. Arnett et al. speak of this and generally all point to the paradox that “respect[ing] communication that is not dialogic is the beginning of dialogic ethics” (90). Therefore, setting the parameters and being sensitive to those parameters of a dialogical conversation is important, and strikes us personally as second most if not the most important thing to one’s ethical position can achieve.…

    As I walked around I looked in to the Butterflies Classroom and noticed the children were getting ready for circle time as they sat quietly on the rug. Most of the kids in the classroom appeared to be between the ages of three to four. At first the kids seemed very shy towards me, they did not seem like they were very sociable. I was a stranger to them, and I would have to guess that all of the children were experiencing a little bit of stranger anxiety. Each child stood up and begin to introduce themselves.…

    You are in class one day when the teacher announces a new assignment: students are to research and give an informative speech about any topic of their choosing. As the student, imagine that you are terrified to not only present the speech in front of your entire class, but to have to go through the process of picking a topic, researching it, organizing your speech, and practicing it as well. At the beginning of my communication class, this was how I felt about producing and giving speeches. I was nervous to talk in front of the class because I have always been very shy and have suffered from extreme speech apprehension. I also dreaded picking a topic and organizing my speeches as well, since I could never make up my mind and I was never good…
