Before we evaluate your listening within interpersonal
communication, let’s continue to evaluate your individual listening
skills
Practice your listening within two different scenarios; one from
category A and one from category B
Category A: favorite television show, new/unfamiliar song by favorite
artist, favorite talk show, funny/interesting clip on YouTube
 Category B: news broadcast, political speech, class lecture (other than our
class)


Compare your listening for each:
What were the similarities and/or differences?
 Were there any barriers involved? (noise, message overload, message
complexity, etc.)
 Were you an effective listener? Why or why not? (use textbook terminology
in your explanation)

each situation do you still remember? What helped you remember?
