Part 1 Chapter 7 is one of my favorite chapters of the entire book. I could do an entire semester class on just this chapter alone, especially in this COVID 19 world we live in!!!!. I call it the carbon monoxide of communications….IT’S THE SILENT KILLER! There is so much in this chapter but I think where I want to go with this is the Types of Nonverbal Communications. From page 225 to 239 the book goes over SEVEN Types of Nonverbal Communications….Body Movement, Voice, Touch, Appearance, Physical Space, Physical Environment and Time. As I have been asking you to do in almost every chapter, I want you to pick concepts that resonate with you. Of the seven I want you to select FOUR that you can expound upon with examples. For example I can relate to the Physical Space so much. Now you see signage in all stores to keep 6 feet of distance. Why? To limit people from getting into each others personal & intimate space talked about on page 237. Before this whole pandemic I can remember places like Target during the holiday season and people were all up on me in the checkout lane. So close that they could possibly see my credit card information!!! All up in my personal space! Conversely I can recall many times at sporting events when I was seated next to someone I didn’t know and when the home team did something good I would see complete strangers high five each other and even hug one another!! Proxemics, the study of the way people and animals use space definitely intrigues me!! If I was doing this assignment the other three I would expound upon would be Appearance, Touch and Body Movement. Again you are to pick FOUR of the seven and expound on why those resonate with you. This minimum four paragraph assignment is to be posted IN DISCUSSION BOARD by Friday, November 19th by midnight! REMINDER, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE PROPER HEADING AT THE TOP AND ALL YOUR RESPONSES ARE IN ARIAL 14 POINT FONT! RESPONSES THAT ARE NOT ARIAL 14 POINT FONT WILL HAVE POINTS DEDUCTED. When it’s too small I can’t read so please follow the Arial 14 point font request. Part 2 Your Chapter 8 assignment is a two paragraph response to be answered in this discussion board. On pages 251 to 253 the book talks about SEVEN types of Ineffective Listening (Pseudolistening, StageHogging, Selective Listening, Insulated Listening, Defensive Listening Ambushing and Insensitive Listening). Give me an example when you found yourself doing one of the 7. Describe in detail and what was the outcome of your Ineffective Listening. That is the first paragraph. The 2nd paragraph is that on pages 253 to 255 the book lists NINE reasons we don’t listen better. (Message Overload, Preoccupation, Rapid Thought, Effort, External Noise, Faulty Assumptions, Lack of Apparent Advantages, Lack of Training, Hearing Problems). Which one of the 9 is the #1 reason why you personally don’t listen better and why. I want examples of how this reason has played out in your life. These two in depth paragraph are to be typed into this discussion board by MIDNIGHT ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19th! Nothing will be accepted after that time.

MLA In-Text Citations: The Basics
Guidelines for referring to the works of others in your text using MLA style are covered throughout the MLA Handbook and in chapter 7 of the MLA Style Manual. Both books provide extensive examples, so it’s a good idea to consult them if you want to become even more familiar with MLA guidelines or if you have a particular reference question.
BASIC IN-TEXT CITATION RULES
In MLA Style, referring to the works of others in your text is done using parenthetical citations. This method involves providing relevant source information in parentheses whenever a sentence uses a quotation or paraphrase. Usually, the simplest way to do this is to put all of the source information in parentheses at the end of the sentence (i.e., just before the period). However, as the examples below will illustrate, there are situations where it makes sense to put the parenthetical elsewhere in the sentence, or even to leave information out.
General Guidelines
- The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1) upon the source medium (e.g. print, web, DVD) and (2) upon the source’s entry on the Works Cited page.
- Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text must be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry on the Works Cited page.
IN-TEXT CITATIONS: AUTHOR-PAGE STYLE
MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author’s name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. For example:
Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (263).
Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth 263).
Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).
Both citations in the examples above, (263) and (Wordsworth 263), tell readers that the information in the sentence can be located on page 263 of a work by an author named Wordsworth. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Works Cited page, where, under the name of Wordsworth, they would find the following information:
Wordsworth, William. Lyrical Ballads. Oxford UP, 1967.
IN-TEXT CITATIONS FOR PRINT SOURCES WITH KNOWN AUTHOR
For print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase (usually the author’s last name) and a page number. If you provide the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the parenthetical citation.
Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as “symbol-using animals” (3).
Human beings have been described as “symbol-using animals” (Burke 3).
These examples must correspond to an entry that begins with Burke, which will be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of an entry on the Works Cited page:
Burke, Kenneth. Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method. University of California Press, 1966.
