B. Lesson Proper

Activity

On our next activity with the same

group last meeting. I need 2
representatives from each group.

This next game is entitled

“Misunderstanding” so,
we will use marker and bond paper
for this game.

Listen to my instruction carefully

because I`m not going to repeat it

Each partner will sit back-to-back.

Student A has a picture of an object
and must describe it without
explicitly saying what the word
really is to Student B. Student B
must then draw it based on Student
A`s description.

Your plus grade will depend on

how accurate the drawing of your
representative.

Is that clear? Yes ma`am.

 Any question? None ma`am

(The selected students are now doing the activity in

front of the class.)

Analysis

Time’s up! Thank you dear students (The students will go back to their seats.)
for participating.

As you have observed, when your

partner said the description to you.
You try to understand and draw it
down, that`s one way how to
communicate with other people.

Have you noticed that we don`t Yes Ma’am!

need words to understand someone
or something?

Very Good!

What we did is an example of

communication. Communication
can be verbal and non-verbal
communication. This means
communication can be verbal or
language, and non-verbal or
gestures and body language.

For today’s lesson, we will The class will clap their hands five times.
differentiate the two.

Are you ready everyone? Class: Yes we are.

Great! Please read the meaning of Justin: Verbal Communication deals with the use of
verbal communication Justin. spoken language to transmit information. It refers to
the use of sound and language to relay a message.

Thank you Justin.

Hence, Communication is two-way (The class will listen to the discussion)

number one is Verbal
communication is the use of words
to share information with other
people. It can therefore include both
spoken and written communication.
Including written letters, memos,
newsletters, newspapers, journals,
and even personal notes

Before we move to another class of

communication can you tell me
what communication is again?

Yes Emi. Emi: Communication is the process of exchanging

information.

How about the examples? Yes Chona: This includes, written, journal, and newspaper.
Chona.
 Very good Chona moving on.

Can you please read the meaning of Yes Ma’am.

Non-Verbal Communication Non-verbal communication is the transmission of
Monique? messages or signals through a nonverbal platform such
as eye contact, facial expressions, gestures, posture,
and the distance between two individuals.

Well done Monique.

Non-verbal communication (The class will listen to the discussion)

includes facial expressions, the tone
and pitch of the voice, gestures
displayed through body language
(kinesics) and the physical distance
between the communicators
(proxemics).

For example, Body Language.

Body language such as facial

expressions, posture, and gestures.

Eye Contact. Humans typically seek

information through the eyes.

Distance. Your distance from

people during communication,
Voice, Touch, Fashion, Behavior,
and Time.

These non-verbal signals can give

clues and additional information
and meaning over and above spoken
(verbal) communication.

Abstraction Example ma`am is when I said “that`s funny” while

smiling or laughing.
Can someone give me an example
of non-verbal communication? When a beggar asks for food and he opens his palm.

Perfect Rin! Another example?

Yes, you’re right Lyka! The way he

open his palm is to emphasize what
he wants
Ma`am when I ask my seatmate if he was okay and he
Last one? answered me using his thumbs up. As if he says he`s
okay.
Impressive!

Another example of this is a yes or

no answered question. Nodding or
shaking head as an answer if he or
she agrees or not.

Do you have any questions?

 Do you understand?
