Report for CCC Part 6

In this section, you are to simulate the communication event in Part 5 by enlisting a family member or close friend to play the role of the other person in that event. Practice your behaviors and responses in that behavior rehearsal, and include in Part 6 of your report the following deliverables:

6A. Role-play your imagined scene for your conversation event with a friend or family member who is NOT directly involved in your communication problem. Say your lines as you planned them. Your practice partner may not really say what you thought he or she would say. Then show him or her the written script, and have him or her read or act out the scenario. You can practice this a few times both with and without the script. Write a detailed narrative of what happened in the behavior rehearsal. What did you do? How were your behaviors received? How satisfied were you with your performance of the behaviors in your goal from Part 4E?

6B1. Reflect on your shared behavioral rehearsal experience. Write a paragraph or two to address your observations and reactions to the shared behavior rehearsal experience of role-playing with a friend or family member who is not directly involved in your communication problem. How did you choose your shared behavior rehearsal partner? Does he or she know about the person or situation being focused on for your CCC goal? Does he or she normally offer guidance and advice in a trustworthy manner already in your established relationship with this person?

6B2. Reflect on your shared behavioral rehearsal experience. Write a paragraph or two to address your observations and reactions to the shared behavior rehearsal experience as far as planning is concerned. Did your shared behavioral rehearsal go as planned, or was it totally different than you imagined it would be? How did you feel at first as you prepared for your shared behavioral rehearsal? How did you feel after you finished it? What behaviors or patterns did you use from Part 4E? Did you notice any new behaviors or patterns that you have not noted previously?
