 Revision for F04: On 11/1, there will be approx.  3  minutes allotted for each team's CONSENSUS STATEMENT.  All of the  members of  the designated category should confer [ either in person, by  email or by phone] in order to develop a 3 minute statement that reflects their consensus about how that particular nonverbal item operates in human  communication. The team  should also decide who is going to deliver the statement in class on 11/1.

As for each  individual's specific 1-2-3  findings, this has been converted to an extra credit submission.  If you wish,  you should submit what would have been your two minute 1-2-3  statement via email. Deadline = 11/3/04, 4:00pm.
