Conversation 101

Typically you start a conversation with, Hi or Hello my name is...

Conversations can be hard so i'll help you :)

​ Review time

All we are going to do is review what we just learned. You got this!

Eye contact, it's hard to understand but easy to learn. Lets talk more about it and other do's and don't in a conversation on the next slide. :)

Great job!
Lets continue.

Look at the person as they talk, nod your head sometimes to show you'er listening

​​ DO

Get distracted by the surroundings (try to focus on the person)

​​Don't

Really listen to the person so that if they ask you a question you can give them a genuine answer to show you heard them

​ ​Do

​Ignore what the person says, when they ask you a question about the topic they can tell if you were listening

Don't

Time to review

Open and closed ended questions, they may sound difficult but they are really easy.

​

Great job! One more topic to go!

​​ Open-ended questions

An open-ended question is when you ask someone a question that they can answer with their own opinion and words. It allows you to not only understand the person better but also helps with your conversation skills. 👍

​ Closed-ended questions

A closed-ended question is when you ask a question but give the person a list of options they can choose to answer the question. This is not good because the person will not be able to express how they feel about the topic. 👎

Time to review everything we've learned. ( Questions are worth a lot more points now.)

Fantastic job! You have just learned the basics of how to have a conversation! 🥳 🎉🎊
