Watch the following video. It shows interactions between a student (Autumn) and her intervener. 

As you watch, pick one movement, sound, or other behavior that looks like communication to you. What do you think she means by this behavior? Try to fill out the "Meaning of an Expression Graph" for the behavior ("expression") that you picked. Don't worry if you find it difficult and don't spend a lot of time on it. Just give it a good try so you can begin to get familiar with the form and the concepts it contains. It will become clearer as you progress through the module.

Save the graph you filled out. You will need it again for the "Revisiting the Inquiry Challenge" section of the module.
