Communication LITERACY · 9TH GRADE Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Communication succeeds when the meaning received matches the meaning intended, which is a higher bar than being clear. It fails in predictable ways: assuming shared knowledge the listener does not have, using a word with two meanings, or sending a message in a form that suits the sender rather than the receiver. Non-verbal signals — tone, pace, expression, posture — carry a large part of meaning in speech and are absent in writing, which is why text messages are misread so often and why written requests need explicit politeness that speech conveys by tone. Checking understanding is the single most useful habit, and it works better as ask the listener to restate the point than as any yes-or-no question. Listening is half of communication and gets a fraction of the practice. Questions: 1 When does communication succeed? 2 Why are text messages so often misread? 3 What is the most useful habit for checking understanding? www.littleactivity.com 9th Grade · Literacy
