13.Whether it is a drop of the head or a roll of the eyes,we can tell others how we're feeling without saying a word.According to Allan Pease,author of Body Language in the Workplace,our ability to express ourselves can influence our success.Having spent much of his time focusing on the communication skills of adults,Mr Pease is now turning his attention to educating children on the importance of understanding body language.
Mr Pease has created a 10-week course aimed to teach children the basics of body language and has been teaching it to a class of seven-year-old Sunshine Coast Grammar School students."Over 10weeks these children learned how to introduce themselves,impress people quickly,use the power of facial expressions,and use friendly gestures to avoid bad signals."he said.
Mr Pease said he decided to start the programme after seeing the poor communication skills shown by young people at a high school graduation ceremony."A friend of mine invited me to their child's graduation ceremony and I was appalled by what I saw."he said."The star students were asked to make a short talk and they were shocking,dragging their feet across the floor.It was a shame."
"The youth really don't make good impressions and that's because they aren't taught how to carry themselves in a correct manner,"Mr Pease said."To make matters worse,these people are told to be themselves.That's bad advice."
After the success of his course,Mr Pease hopes to have the programme introduced into schools across Australia."I'd like to introduce it to kids and teens through a series of short films that teachers can use,"he said."Good communication skills are so important and these need to be introduced to young people."

Several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates.Whatever the task your group is assigned,a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience.
What comes first is to keep an open mind,becasue everyone's ideas deserve consideration and each group member can make his or her own contribution.Secondly,it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members.Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths.Thirdly,always work together,take turns,and encourage each other by listening,clarifying,and trusting one another.Mutual support and trust often make a great difference.
Activities like investigations are most effective when done by small groups.Here are some more suggestions for effective team performance during these activities:Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the task given to him or her,and everyone knows exactly when,why and what to do; take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be aware of here other group members are and what they are doing so as to ensure safety; be responsible for your own learning,though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members.
When there is research to be done,divide the topic into several areas,and this can explore the issue in a very detailed way.You are encouraged to keep records of the sources used each person,which helps you trac back to the origin of the problems that may happen unexpectedly.A format for exchanging information (e.g.photocopies of notes,oral discussion,etc.) is also important,for a well-chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily understood.When the time comes to make a decision and take a position on an issue,allow for the contributions of each member of the group.Most important of all,it is always wise to make decisions by compromise and agreement.
After you've completed a task with your team,make an evaluation of the team's effectiveness-the strengths and weaknesses,opportunities and challenges.
