Title: Body Language Scene: Body Language Video – Poll - Discussion Slide number: 3 Skill or Concept: Effective Body Language Animation (yes or no): Y Graphics (yes or no): N Audio (yes or no): Y Informational Text: Body Language is a from of non-verbal communication, which consists of posture, gestures, facial expressions, and eye movements. Psychologists attest that human communication consists of almost 93% of body language while the other 7% of communication rests on the words themselves. Is a handshake really a handshake or does it set the tone for who is and will be the dominant power figure in the room? Does who walks through the door first when entering a room really matter? Politicians and celebrities have used the subtle movements of body language to persuade the masses, establish power, and advance careers.
