B. Review
Yesterday, we discussed about the barriers to communication. Can someone tell once again the things that hamper communication?
Precisely! I'm glad that you still remember those barriers to communication.
C. Motivation
Today, we are going to have some fun by having a game that I think you are all familiar with. Sounds interesting right?
But before that, you will be grouped into two first.
Do you know the game, charades?
That's good. So you are already familiar with the mechanics of the game, right?
I have here pieces of paper and all of them contain titles of a movie. One representative from each group will pick a piece of paper and he/she will act whatever title he picked. Other members of the group will guess the act. Each correct answer is equivalent to 1 point. A 5 second steel will be given to the other group in case the other group will not be able to guess the title.
Is that clear?
If that's the case, let's start the game.
D. Discussion
Now, the thing that you did a while back has something to do with our topic for today. But before that let's take a look at our objectives for today. Can someone read these?
Is everything clear?
On your activity a while ago, you were able to guess some of the titles of the movies, right?
What did you use in guessing the titles that your classmates picked?
What about in guessing those titles, what did one of your classmates use?
Exactly! So, it means that not just through words we can communicate, but through actions as well.
The thing that you did a while back has something to do with verbal communication and nonverbal communication.
Now, let's take look what verbal communication is. Please read.
(The teacher will expound the term.)
There are things that we also need to consider in verbal communication. Can you read them.
(The teacher will explain these things.)
Now, if there is verbal communication, there is also nonverbal communication. What do you think is this?
Very good!
In other words, nonverbal communication is an interaction without the use of words. Our actions and behaviour can be used instead.
Now there are reasons why mastery of non-verbal communication is very important.
(The teacher will flash these reasons and will explain these.)
Is everything clear?
E. Application
Now, with the same group a while ago, you are going to prepare a short role playing about a particular scene from a movie or play of your choice. Verbal communication and nonverbal communication should be seen in your presentation.
F. Generalization
Can someone differentiate verbal communication from nonverbal communication?
Very good! Do you have any questions?
The barriers to communication are:
Emotional barriers
Use of jargon
Lack of confidence;
Noisy environment.
Yes.
(The students will be grouped into two.)
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
(The students will do the activity.)
(A student will read the objectives.)
Yes.
Yes.
We used words.
They used actions.
(A student will read the definition of verbal communication.)
(A student will read the things to consider in verbal communication.)
Nonverbal communication is an interaction where actions are used to convey a message.
Yes.
(The students will do the activity.)
Verbal communication is the use of words to convey a message or to express a feeling to someone, while nonverbal communication is the interaction to others without the use of words but actions and behaviour, instead.
None.
IV. Evaluation
