the game but to those who don’t have any idea
about this game, let’s have the mechanics.

First, all you need to do is to analyze the 4

pictures that will appear on the screen because
that will serve as your clue to guess the mystery
word. Are you ready?” “Yes ma’am we are more than ready!”

objectives of the lesson that they will attain at the

meaning of the word style?”

doing or arranging something. Just like the given “It refers to a unique way of doing or arranging

and even in communication. Do you think we

“Did you know that there are 5 speech styles

namely intimate, casual, consultative, formal, and
frozen? Now, let’s differentiate the degree of
formality of those 5 styles by going to different
places wherein we will analyse different
conversations of different people and situations.

“Are you ready?”

“Let’s first go in a house. This is a conversation

that can be heard in a house. “

(Call two students to read the conversation)

“Yes ma’am!”

you’ve read?”

“Very Good! In this sample conversation, what do

you think is the degree of formality or the speech
style that was used?”

“Good Job! Intimate is the answer. Why do you

think intimate is the type of speech style used in
the given conversation?”
“They are a couple.”
“Excellent answer! Intimate style is used by
participants who know each other well or share a
very close relationship. The participants in this “Intimate”
style do not need for clear articulation of words or
additional explanations. They may use words of
endearment such as babe, love, dear, honey as a
sign of closeness.”
“From the word itself. Intimate means using

“Very nice answers. Are there any questions

about the intimate style?”

conversation?”

“Very Good. What makes you think that the man

and the woman are classmates?”

“Good answer. What do you think is the degree of

formality or the speech style that was used in the
sample conversation?”

“Why do you think casual is the answer?”

typically prescribed by law, or it is a ritual that
involves certain fixed statements (verbatim) that (Read the given conversation)

“We learned that communicative or speech style
is about the degree of formality used in
communicating with different people, places and
situation. It has 5 styles which are:
intimate, used in communicating with persons that
are very close to you;
casual, used in everyday conversion with people
whom you may know but not so close to you;
consultative, used in communicating to someone
when asking for help, asking questions, or
requesting;
formal, used in different situations with speeches,
broadcasting, announcements, etc;
and frozen, which is the style that uses statements
that are learned by the heart.”
“It is important for us to know the appropriate
speech styles to use in different situations, places,
and people.”
“It is also important for us to avoid having
miscommunications or misunderstandings when
 we use communicative styles inappropriately.”

To guide you in your activity, here is the rubrics

which will be the basis in grading your works.

You may submit your activity on Friday, June 17,

2022 after our English class. Do you have any
