language and how we communicate more generally. ? Watch at least the first 15 minutes of Gender & Communication

hypotheses? ? How does gender influence how we communicate verbally and nonverbally? ? In your own experience,
do men and women communicate differently? If so, how and why? ? Why is it important to think about gender when
thinking about communication? Please spend at least two sentences on each of the questions. Note: While we want you
to think through your own experience, this should not be the primary basis of your response. You should use your
experience to think through what you have learned in class. Think of your experience as potential evidence you can use
to support or refute some claims made in the book or video. Thoroughly address all three elements of this prompt by
writing at least two to three sentences on each element. Use the course readings at least once to help you make your
points. Consider copying and pasting these tasks into a word file and addressing each of them separately. Your answers
