Materials: Laptop, PowerPoint Presentation

III. PROCEDURE
A. Routinary Activities
● Prayer
● Greetings
● Checking of Attendance

B. Motivational Activity
● 4 pictures will be shown to the class. Each picture conveys different meanings. The
students will be asked for their interpretations and they will guess what the pictures
is trying to imply. 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.
● Differentiate verbal from nonverbal communication.

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 types 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. Voice – The way in which a message is spoken is as important as what is said.
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.
