Mirroring is when you make the same movements, take the same actions, use the same gestures, repeat the other person's body language, etc., during an interaction. You do not have to - and in fact should not - do the exact same thing as the person you are mirroring. it should be subtle (not obvious) and can be like what the other person did but not exactly like it. Remember from class one person might rub their eye, but you could rub your forehead in the general area of the eye and still have it be mirroring.
Your assignment is to practice mirroring at least five times on five separate occasions with different people if possible, and try to do so without the other person realizing what you are doing. Remember, if you decide to do this in true face-to-face fashion, make sure you follow all important safety measures and wear your mask! Thank you!
Once you've done your mirroring, please write a short essay telling me how it went.
Please give me a really, really brief re-telling of each incident
