Warming Up

Compare love songs of the 80s with those which are popularized in the 2000s. You

may specify a song from the 80s and another from today’s generation.
1980's Songs

song:Nothing's gonna change my love for you

This song tells us about someone who really love his partner, and shows us what love can offer. This
made me think that , there is still an evident sincerity of love, that even the world is changing the
feelings that they have for each other will never change. They look at the person at their side and can't
even imagine anyone else , through the pain and heartache, ups and downs , they still have each other.

2000s song

song: We belong together

The message of this song describes the reality of being lonely after breaking up in a relationship. It's
about how we should value things and give much attention to our feelings as well as the feelings of our
partner before it's gone and regret why we give up so easily. The writer this song didn't know she loved
and or cared about her ex until it's over.

Establishing links
From your answers in the Venn Diagram, what realizations can you derive from the activity? Which
music era do you think has a more meaningful way ofcommunicating its message?

- For me, 80's songs has the more meaningful way of communicating it's message. As what I've noticed ,
songs nowadays are meaningless, rude, and hard to understand. Unlike, the old songs, those are better
because it has a good beat, meaningful , and catchy which isn't present on today's music. The songs back
then, has something that everyone can relate to , and detailed so the listeners could easily understand
the song.

Applying your Learning

Plan making a two-stanza poem.

Principles Your Considerations

Knowing your audience I consider this in making a poem because it guides and
help us determine what is appropriate and what to
consider and it provides an understanding of what
going to either appeal to or to catch the attention of the
audience

Knowing your purpose It is important to know the purpose in making a poem


because it helps to determine what strategy needed.

Knowing your topic Knowing the topic before making a poem can help us
focus our mind into a specific topic.

Anticipating objections By anticipating objections is a way to show the readers


that we consider their concern and to show them that
we get it and we are making an effort to see their view
points and objections to avoid misunderstanding.

Acheiving credibility with your audience I consider this because when there is a credibility , my
readers will come to trust what I've just written because
it it lacks credibility , it weakens the effectiveness of my
poem and even my personal credibility.

Presenting information in a various ways In making a poem , it is important to do it in a creative


and effective way where the audience can relate to it,
and where we can capture the hearts of the audiences.

Acknowledging communication barriers To finally have an effective communication, we should


also consider to overcome barriers for us to convey a
clear and concise message.

thought but also considering people's concern .

5. Presenting information in various ways I can see the effectiveness of the way she host because
a lot of people believe in her.

6. Acknowledging communication barriers She delivered it in a creative way where people can
relate to it.

comfortable. And when the communication is present and effective, there are no doors for
misunderstanding informations which sometimes can cause to have a conflict. It ensures that it does not
only convey a message but also you let them feel your feelings and emotions . Through communicating
effectively , ourleaders will know what community wants and what problems of the community is facing

Worksheet 1 for Lesson 3: Characteristics of Competent Global Communicator

Note: All answers are to be written here. Do not write anything on the handout. Thank you!

Warming Up
Read journals or search the internet for techniques on becoming a competent global communicator.
From what you had read/searched, answer the following questions and put your answers on your
worksheet.

1.What where the competences mentioned?

- Self-awareness , Adaptibility, Empathy, Cognitive, Ethics

2.Are you familiar with all the stated competencies? If yes, why. If no, why.

- Yes, some of the competencies mentioned above has been discussed by our teacher during my
highschool days.

3.Do you think it would be of great help if you get to know the competencies? Explain your answer.

- Yes , with this I will be more aware of my own communication behavior and enable to acquire
knowledge and skills in the various desciplines , and to develop individuals into intellectual, social, and
civic beings to the benefit of the society .

4.What do you think is the best of all the stated competencies? Why do you think so?

- I think the best competency among 5 competencies that have been mentioned is the Ethics, because in
here, we don't take advantage of the weakness state of the person just for them to agree to something
that she /he otherwise would not likely to have done. These is being aware of the consequences of the
behavior, because if we value other people's thought, there will be no misunderstanding. It's to respect
other points of view and tolerate disagreement.

5.If you were to add another competency what would it be and why?

- if I were to add another competency , it would be appropriateness . A competent communicator would


understand and communicate appropriately in the situation. They would know when it's appropriate to
use slang and to use formal vocabulary. This is too far from Adaptibility because in order to adapt
appropriately, you would need to understand what is appropriate .

Establishing links
From your responses on the preceding activity, what was your realization as a purposive communication
student?

- As a purposive communication student I realized how important communication is in our lives


especially to connect people and to make relationship with them. This serves as a bridge which connects
every people to understand and listen to their thoughts and perception. Through this, it solve our
problems, there are no misunderstanding, though sometimes to there are barriers that is why we
misinterpret someone. But when we communicate effectively , there will no be conflict among people

Applying your Learning


On the blank column provided, write how you could develop the specific characteristics needed in being
a globally competitive communicator. Write your answers on this worksheet.

Tolerance during - You could develop this by becoming a risk taker, honing yourself to do things
uncertainty out of your comfort zone and being flexible at all times whatever the problem or
struggle may be.

You can do this by not focusing too much on what you can see on the outside,
Contemplative try to take a deeper meaning or understanding on things. Like for example when
people seems to be judging you and saying bad things at you, instead of fighting
back just stay still, ignore them and use those hurtful words or experiences as a
motivation. Doing this you're not only helping yourself become calm and relaxed
but you're also helping yourself be unbothered and refocus yourself on what
you really matters.

Sensitive You could develop this by controlling emotions and do not take things
personally

Adaptable - When it comes to being adaptable, you should be able to show flexibility and
strength. Being adaptable means you have to go through some things which
may seem like you aren't used to, but at the end you try to understand how to
improve yourself or situation, know yourself and try to overcome the problem
in order to adapt to these sudden changes and use them as a way to evolve or
become better.

Polite Being polite, you have to be respectful, obedient and kind to every single
person. Also you must get rid of anger, impatience, hate and boastfulness inside
your body.

Avoids negative - Avoid negativing question can also be known as becoming an overthinker. In
question order to be good at handling these things, you should try to believe in yourself
more, in your own worth and abilities. Because if you're the one who lacks trust
and pities yourself a lot, it gets easy for people to get inside your head
(criticisms) and manipulate you into having negative thoughts and vibes around
you.

Supportive - Being supportive is quite easy, unless you are a person who has a lot of
insecurities, thinks like your superior than others and feels like everyone is a
competition. Because being supportive means you want what's best for these
people/person and you try to help them believe in themselves and want them
to be happy because you truly respect, love them and care for them. But if you
don't want these for them, then you're probably insecure and don't want to see
them strive and win.

Unbiased or - You can be good at these once you stop judging people from the first look and
Prejudiced try to get to know them first before you say your final say about them. Because
like everyone says you can't really judge a book by its cover. So try to be more
understanding first and compassionate to these type of people, because you
might never know you might hate them now but at the end you'll suddenly
realize you are both similar to each other.

Observant You could develop this by paying attention to what is going around you but
carefully filter out anything that doesn't seem relevant.

Do not use slang - Slang means words that came from the street and are considered informal
words or language. Instead of using slang words, use words that are for
educated people and are considered formal because people actually consider
this as disrespectful and inappropriate especially if you use this in school or
workplace.

Watches the humor - We all know jokes are meant to be funny, so before saying jokes you must
think first if it'll be funny or it'll be hurtful for them. Because not everyone have
humor, some people take words seriously.

Maintains etiquitte Be yourself and allow others to treat you with respect, say “Thank You”, give
genuine compliments, don't be boastful, arrogant or loud, listen before
speaking, speak with kindness and caution, do not criticize or complain, be
punctual

Warming up

1. Do you understand what the cartoon is all about?

-Yes, the cartoon is all about written communication and verbal communication

2. What do you think the boy in the cartoon is trying to convey?

-For me, the boy is trying to show us that it is much easier for him to express his thoughts , feelings and
everything he wanted to tell in a written way while having much difficulty and having the fear to speak
which caused him to stutter and forget what he wanted to say.
3. Between the written and spoken communication, which is clearer to you?

I think written communication are clearer than spoken one because there are no body language or
vocal emphasis that sometimes can be a distraction from a speaker unlike in verbal
communication ,most writers are unable speak plain words or unable to find good ideas. Speakers tend
to fail when using this method because of the fear , and in here there is no undo and no revision .

Upon examining the non-prose text below, respond to the following reflection questions:

What does the cartoon tell us about the written communication?

-The cartoon shows us that in written communication is a way where we can easily express our thoughts
,our emotions, and perspective . There are people who cannot speak in a large crowd but good in terms
of writing .

What does the cartoon tell us about verbal/spoken communication?


- The cartoon shows us that some of us is having a difficulty to speak in public because of the fear that
causes them to stutter , the negative experience during public speaking, the lack of control, where a
speaker cannot always prepare in advance for every possiblity.

1. Compare and contrast verbal and written communication based on what you have just read? Provide
examples. (Note: your answers should be in three-five sentences)

- Written communication is formal communication that is used in formal setting such as in school,
business, colleges, etc. While oral communication is an informal one which is normally used in our
personal conversation such as group talks, etc. These two communication are both good at their places
but some people prefer to use the oral communication for it is easy to many and less time-consuming,
while some used to believe that written communication is the reliable method of communication.
2. Whether spoken or written, using appropriate language register is important. What specific factors
influence the kind of register to be used?

- These variations in formality , also called stylistic variation, are known as registers in Linguistic . They
are determined by such factors as social occasion , context, purpose, and audience. It is important to
understand the differences between registers so you can use language that is appropriate for a
particular situation.
3. How do you think can the use of technology make or break the ethical principles of written and
spoken communication? Explain your answer and provide examples

- Technogies are changing many of dynamics of speech and writing . For example, many people use
email and texting informality like spoken conversation , as an informal form of verbal communication.
Many people have gotten into trouble because of what they have spoken to others through email and
text.

How many correct answers did you get from the activity above? How were you able to identify the
formal equivalent of the informal words mentioned in the activity? How about for those informal
counterparts of the formal terminologies? The higher score you attained from the activity tells how wide
your knowledge is when we talk about the formal and informal registers of English. Why do we have to
study this matter? What is its impact to our venture of becoming effective and purposeful
communicators? We shall find out the answers to these questions in this less

Formal language does not use colloquialisms, contractions or first person pronouns such as 'I' or 'We'.
Informal language is more casual and spontaneous. I was able to get the equivalent words of the
informal and formal words by first determing it's spelling and the pronunciation is quite similar from the
given words.

Unit IV. Evaluating Messages and/or Images

Warming Up

Look at the images below. See the difference between the top and bottom images

1.What can you say about the kind of protest these people are doing?

- The picture above literally shows people who's still demanding their rights during pandemic. That " i
want haircut" in a poster, has been a roiling topic or conversation since corona virus lockdowns first
went into place across the country . When this virus started to scattered, the salons , restaurants ,
churches and even schools had been closed which caused for many to struggle and lost their job . And
the picture below shows discrimination and inequality experienced by black people to highlight racism.

2. Why do they protest?

- They protest for equality and gain their rights. They want an action to address unequal treatment and
oppression that goes all the way back to the era of slavery.

3 Is protesting a good idea to be heard by the concerned individuals?

- Yes, protest is an event or action where people gather within others to publicly express their feelings
and opinions about something that is happening in society. Within this, it can provide inspiration and a
sense of being part of a larger movement. It would be much easier for the protester to be heard and can
scare authorities into changing their behavior and finally listen to their concern . Isn't just about yelling
and holding signs , but also to inspire change and influence your community.

3. In your point of view, how should a protest be ideally done

Protest can happen anywhere, but for it to be more catchy, you should arrange your protest where it
can be seen by as many as many people as possible. If you are about to protest a law or policy , let the
people responsible know your complaint and give them the chance to respond and be vocal, learn to
create some chants , so that everyone knows what you're protesting adn why.

Warming Up

Recall any movie, film, or video that you watched. Share it by answering the following questions:

1. What is the title of the movie/video/film? What was its genre?

- Squid Game ( Horror Drama)

2. What is the general theme of the film?


- The main theme of this bring the harsh realities of income inequality and dept within South Korea.
3. Describe the main character and his /her personalities? How did his/her traits make an impact in the
story?

- Lee Jung Jae plays the kind- hearted gambling addict, Swing Gi-Hun, who winds up joing the high
stakes game . He soon won our hearts as by his empathy for the other money-hungry participants .
There's no denying that Lee Jung Jae's character is the protagonist of squid game , this is his story , and
them man's good nature and moral standing make him incredibly easy to root for.

4. What is the conflict in the story?

- This is the battle between egoism( where self-interest dictates moral decision making) and some form
of collaboration / altruism represents the crux not only of the games themselves where one must first
decide if the game is competitive or cooperative but also inner conflict of each player. The irony is that
they choses to betray and show selfishness to finish the game rather that helping each other . The
character of the game shows us we can sacrifice everything even the life of a person just for money and
for our own gain.

5. What is your comment about the film’s visual effects? Did the visual effects add life to the story?

- The visual effects of the film was very impressive and breathtaking imaginary scenes and they did it
great because it was like it is happening in a real world . Their visual effects captures characters facial
expressions and their actions which is really convincible .

6. What social issues were addressed in the film/movie/video?

- Economic insecurity is at the heart of the film. It takes about socio economic divides, the exploitation
of the poor by the rich, and the desperation of Koreans financially destute class to laid- off work. The
film, which portraits members of a poor family that ingratitae themselves with a wealthy person,
exposed many international viewers the realities of inequalities in Korea. It harshly critiques societies
economic inequalities as especially as the rich and spectators behind the game are rewarded .

7. What is your over-all review?

- Squidgame amplifies itself endlessly, raising the stakes and the level of inhumanity. My review about
this video is that, it is well directed , well performed a superb acting performances heighten drama,
specifically from Lee, who makes Gi-Hun irresistible, likable despite his many flaws. All of the characters
undergo enermous transformation , and the actors rise to the challenge of portraying believable
emotions in an unbelievable setting.
Applying your Understanding

Listen to the song “Sound of Silence” by Simon and Garfunkel. In your worksheet, answer the following
comprehension questions:

1. What was the song about?

- This song is all about the inability of people to communicate with each other.

2. What message is the song trying to convey?

- The author tries to warn the people in his dream and his listeners about the danger of
incommunicability. The incapability to share feelings, ideas and also means that we became desentized
to the evil around us, as wer are no longer able to raise our cruelty and injustice. No one dares to disturb
silence , whichi means nobody has the courage or the strength to speak out. Silence is not as something
as positive or peaceful, but as an enemy that must be fought in order to get rid of our moral numbness
and regain some sort of unity and togetherness.

3. What line from the song struck you the most?

The third line, this line in which many of us can relate into. Because sometimes, people talk to each
other just for the sake of it, without really communicating . Talking without speaking and hearing
without listening, sounds like an oxymoral, where people will listen to you but no one bother to
understand you.

EVERY LIFE COUNTS

- Life is uncertain and full of change , a natural occurrence of time. In just a blink of an eye anything can

being solved which is passing second. I believe that every second is a piece of a whole , with joy, anger ,
love , sorrow peace and fear and passion that piece together to form life . And I believe that life is only
as meaningful as the seconds of which is composed . Nothing is permanent , hence there are reasons
to stay in dejection. There must be ups and downs , but it will just come and pass . Above all , every
person must be optimistic no matter how bad things get. Every failure builds experience , and this
experiences is what improves the skill and effeciency of humans. The uncertainty is what makes life
precious, no one knows our time, but probably the most important thing is that, we should live our life

Almost everyone nowadays are using this very popular tool like facebooks, twitter, Instagram because
of its user-friendly features. Because of this , people have the chance to connect with their families,
friends , and their loved ones across distances. This social media has a lot of advantages , especially to
us, students. It is a great device for education and in just one click, the information we needed will be
there. Through it, a person became more totally aware of the issues and always updated on the latest
happenings of the world. With this , the distances are no longer the problem anymore , you can just
open your messenger and have facetime with your bestfriends , in short it strengthen bonds with your
loved ones . In addition to that, it also provides a great opportunity to showcase your talents . But
despite of the good things it has brought to us, it is also considered to be the one of the most harmful
things in the world. It is harmful because it is invades your privacy, the oversharing happenings on social
media makes us target for the predators and hackers and also lead to cyberbullying that affects people .

From your observations, who was the speaker that was able to execute his real intentions of delivering
the speech? Why do you say so? What were the clues that you considered in detecting the accurate
delivery of purpose of the message? Certain codes like those of the non-verbal create a unique feature
of the message depending on the purposes laid down by the speaker when delivering his message.

- For me, Martin Luther King is much better that Jobs because of his connection to the viewers . The way
he speaks he allowed himself to have an almost symbiotic connection with his audience . He drew
energy from each other and he was very tuned into level of energy in the room. That connection made
the event more than a speech, it made an experience that make people to act. When listening to his
speech, you'll hear that he always started with out at slow, measured conversational pace, and over
time , increased his pace and his volume as he drew the audience in. It was just so good because he
knows how to catch the hearts of the audience.

Write a short speech to inform about the effect of the pandemic to education. Consider providing facts
about the topic to be discussed. Decide which occasion would this speech be delivered.

The Effects Of Covid 19 to Education

Covid 19 pandemic has affected all levels of education system. Educational institutions around the
world(in 192 countries) have either closed or implemented localized closures affecting about 1.7 billion
or students worldwide. Many universities around the world eitheir postponed or cancelled all campus
activities to minimize gatherings and hence decrease the transmission of virus.

In the face of the global COVID 19 pandemic, schools have confronted unprecedented challenges as they
moved quickly shift classes to an online format, provide equitable access for all the students, support
teachers and students educational need, and make plans amidst great uncertainties. The pandemic itself
has caused much worry, pain, stress, and grief. Some teachers may not be meeting with students in
person, some teachers may not have the same students drop-ins . Some teachers may not be able to
read to read students masked faces . As such teachers may wonder how students are doing or the
degree to which they are struggling , particularly with respect to emotional problems. This form of
learning provides an alternative way to minimize either the contact between the students themselves or
between the students and lecturers. However, many students like me have no access to online teaching
due to lack of either the means or the instruments due to economical and digital divide

But despite of this pandemic, let us not continuing our life, and continue persuing our dreams no
matter how hard it could be, always remember that we could get through this.

Evaluating your Learning

Persuasion is of the most challenging purpose of communication. It includes other purposes like to
inform, instruct, and inspire. Write a speech to persuade college students of your age to continue living
their lives with determination and persistence despite hardships in life

COLLEGE LIFE
College life is very different from what we used too, it can be a lot more fun, but it's also more
demanding. You'll have a lot more flexibility with your classes , but alot more responsibility as well.

In college there's a lot more opportunity to hangout and get involved in social events but there's also
a lot more to distractions to neglect your studies. In highschool, you had to study hard to get good
grades and to be on the list of honor students while in college you have to learn to study smart . As a
college student, we commonly experience stress because of increased responsibilities, lack of good time
management, and you will not be able to take enough breaks for self-care. Especially nowadays ,
schooling might be hard for some because of this pandemic. Aside from the lack of materials needed in
school, no internet connection, no gadgets to use for online learning ,complying before deadlines, it
was also hard for us to understand a single topic without any discussion. And this is the reason why
some of the students are dropping out, finding a job to earn some income , and even cases of students
who committed suiside are getting rampant

College life maybe hard, but always remember your purpose. If sometimes things would come that is
not according to your will , always trust God's will and if sometimes you may find it hard, try to take
some time to rest , but never ever think of giving up. Even though some of us are heading off to college ,
and continuing our lives as a students, we must begin to think about our future because college is an
opportunity toward our goals and gain the education necessary to reach our dreams. Everything you
choose to do is a step toward your future and will become a part of who you are So when choosing
your future path , why not choose the path that will bring you a sense of purpose , fulfillment, pride and
most importantly, joy.
