 What’s In

As Senior High School students, you are expected to acquire the

competence in communication skill. As such, you need to take a close look
at the basics of communication-- for mastering the craft in effective
communication begins with understanding the basics, which will equip you
with a strong foundation. This foundation will be employed to hone your
skills for you to become more effective performers in communication.
Hence, it is imperative that you should familiarize yourselves with the
fundamental elements of communication.

What’s New

Communication as defined by McCornack (2014) is a process of

sharing and conveying messages or information from one person to
another within and across channels, contexts, media, and cultures. It can
be manifested in a wide variety of contexts--- face-to-face interaction, a
phone conversation, a group discussion, a meeting or interview, a letter
correspondence, a class recitation, and many others.

What is It

Take a look at the picture below.

The picture above depicts how each individual communicates at

different levels, at different forms. Communication is broadly defined as the
imparting and exchanging of information or news (Retrieved from

What’s More

TASK: Make “Flipped Cards” using recyclable materials found in your

home.

Things to do: Folding stories with the use of Flipped Cards:

1. In this activity, one learner composes a sentence or two on a
piece of homemade card and then fold the card so that only the
last word or phrase can be seen.
2. The next student continues the story for few sentences before
hiding all but the last word or phrase can be seen… and then
passing the paper on...until the story is finished.

 What I Can Do

To continue doing with the “Flipped Cards,” (while observing social

distancing), set up a randomized list of your neighbor---classmates. The
first student sends his involvement and then, sends the last phrase to the
next name on the list. Compile all the contributions to create a single story
reflecting their experience and struggles on the New Normal Oral
Communication. Once everyone has contributed, share the whole story
with the family.

Allow your neighbor-classmate or any member of the family who is

qualified to rate you based on the rubrics below:
 Notes to the Teacher

Make sure that the student can come up with a scoring sheet from the neighbor-
classmate or from an elder member of the family whom he/she shared his/her story based on
the given rubrics below.
