Time Sensitivity
This communication activity teaches students how to be sensitive to others' conversational time constraints and to convey information concisely, such as when you pass a teacher in the hallway and they ask, “How was your weekend?”
Communication Skills: Time Sensitivity
This activity helps strengthen one's understanding of time limits with a conversational partner while teaching how to communicate conversational content succinctly so as to respect these needs.
After a written discussion regarding necessary sensitivity for a listener's availability limits, students use dice to obtain hypothetical content and context: what they are to say, to whom they are speaking, and the situation in which they are conversing. Once they have taken into account the context, students establish an appropriate time limit and practice delivering their assigned content within that time allotment. This activity endeavors to improve students' cognizance of listener presupposition and their proficiency in limiting the time utilized to communicate their content so as to fit the aforementioned needs. This product pairs well with the Kinesics and Conversation Skills resource as well as Editing Verbal Narratives, as all three of these materials work on communicating in a way that best fits the needs of conversational partners.
