B. Motivational Activity
Different GIFs will be shown to the class. Each GIF conveys different meanings. The students will be asked for
their interpretations. Expectedly, they may have different understandings. Therefore, all answers will be
entertained.
C. Lesson Proper
From the student’s different viewpoints, the teacher will explain that just like when communicating to
someone, everything you say and do means something. Oftentimes, misunderstanding occurs when
the message perceived is different from the intended message. To prevent such, we will talk about
verbal and nonverbal cues.
Define what communication is.
Introduce the “Communication Model by Shannon-Weaver”
Differentiate verbal from nonverbal communication.
Discuss characteristics of an effective verbal communication and barriers to effective verbal
communication
Discuss non-verbal communication, its forms and features.
VERBAL COMMUNICATION
- means sharing things by means of words, whether spoken or written.
NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION
- is communication without words, only visual cues.

Introduce different types of verbal communication:

Oral and written
Introduce different forms of nonverbal communication:
a. Facial expressions
The principal source of feedback.
b. Eye contact
The most expressive element in face-to-face communication.
c. Body movements & posture
The way you stand and hold your body also sends messages.
d. Gestures
The movement that you make with a part of your body, especially your hands.
e. Haptics
Also known as “touching”.
f. Proxemics
Refers to the amount of space that individuals naturally maintain between each other which communicates
meanings.
g. Voice
The way in which a message is spoken is as important as what is said.
h. Paralanguage
These include voice quality, emotion and speaking style, rhythm, intonation and stress.

D. Application
The class will be divided into four groups. Each group will be required to have a short scenario to be
performed in front. Of course, before coming up with the performance, there must be a script. The
script should contain verbal and nonverbal cues.
For Example: “Girl: Hi! (waving)”

It is up to the group leaders how they will divide the tasks. As long as all of the members will
participate, a script will be produced, and a short role play will be performed. The rubrics will be given
by the teacher.
