This will most likely be reflective but you could engage others, trying some aspect of an exercise or some observation concerning interactions you observed or in which you participated. If you apply an exercise be sure the rights of others are respected, including privacy and safety (e.g., provide them with some form of prior knowledge or agreement to participate in your activity and debriefing.)

3) Your write-up may include the following information:

a. What happened. If you‘re referencing some experience provide enough information to provide a context for the reader. Please keep this section brief. You may choose to avoid "Real life" names.

b. Describe what you thought and how you felt (reacted) while participating in the event, how other(s) responded or felt.

c. Discuss how this exercise altered your knowledge and understanding of interpersonal communication. Emphasize your analysis, application, insights. In other words, "SO WHAT?" You may find it helpful to reference materials from essays in the text, lectures, or published articles to frame YOUR analysis.
