During Dr. Chandlers and Lauras tutoring session, i took notes on their body language more then the language because i think i will be doing my final paper on body language. i will definantly have to pay more attention to the indirect gestures but they are so common i dont noticed them; like the nodding. i noticed that at first Dr. was very withdrawn, hand on chin, shoulders in, didnt want to answer questions, but with a little guidence and more direct questions opened up and was more responsive. dr. chandler was eager to look at the computer and books rather than come up with answers on her own. laura gestured with downward hands at first, then started gesturing palm up. over all, i think i have to look at how language changed the gestures and body language. i was paying attention so much to the gestures rather then the tone that changed the session.
