Elizabeth #7:
Elizabeth mentioned one of dances with deer, which she understood the story through the dance. Since this dance tried to tell more than the others and set the mood of the story well, she really enjoyed this dance and also the instruments in person. I believe a passionate dance can fully arise one's emotion. Even though the story behind the dance is not familiar for the audience, they can still understand most of it through dancers' body movements and also the strong music. Therefore, what Elizabeth said in her blog7 represents an effective communication.

Eli #14:
Eli viewed the cooking experience with professors as an effective communication. He felt fun and learned from professors' gestures when they were making food--a form of nonverbal communication. He felt entertained with it. Obsoletely, cooking focus more on how to prepare and cook food, therefore, Eli's experience proves that it was effective to have an nonverbal communication by doing this cooking. 

Caitlin #14:
Caitlin talked about the cooking experience with professors. She thought positively about it because she believed that we were going to learn how to cook and all of classmates would get involved. However, she actually was only asked to peel potatoes, and that was it. She felt disappointed because she actually did not learn anything about Ecuadorian cooking. This experience for her is an ineffective communication either with professors or the culture of Ecuadorian cooking.

The reason why I picked these three blog post is that I want to see how nonverbal communication works or not for other classmates in this course in Ecuador. It is obvious that dance, as an art form, mostly work well when people try to have communication with the story behind it. However, it is quite interesting to see how our classmates react differently on the cooking activity.
