C. Activity/Motivation
Before the proper lesson starts, different GIFs will be shown to the class.
Each GIF conveys different meanings. The students will be asked for their
interpretations. Expectedly, they may have different understandings. Therefore,
all answers will be entertained.
D. Analysis
From the student’s different viewpoints, the teacher will explain that just like
when communicating to someone, everything they say and do means something.
Oftentimes, misunderstanding occurs when the message perceived is different
from the intended message. To prevent such, the teacher will discuss verbal and
non-verbal cues.
a. Differentiate verbal from non-verbal communication.

 VERBAL COMMUNICATION – is the use of words that convey a

message. Some forms of verbal communication are written and oral
communication.
 NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION – is communication without
words, the use of body language to convey a message. One main
form of non-verbal communication is body language.

b. Introduce different types of verbal communication.

 Oral – The process of verbally transmitting information and
ideas from one individual or group to another.
 Written – any written message that two or more people
exchange.
c. Introduce different types of non-verbal communication.
 Facial expressions – The principal source of feedback
 Eye contact – The most expressive element in face-to-face
communication.
 Body movements & posture – The way you stand and hold
your body also sends messages.
 Gestures – The movement that you make with a part of
your body, especially your hands.
 Haptics – also known as “touching”.
 Proxemics - Refers to the amount of space that individuals
naturally maintain between each other which communicates
meanings.
 Voice – The way in which a message is spoken is as
important as what is said.
E. Abstraction
The teacher will ask the students to give the gist and to summarize the lesson.
a. What is the importance of verbal and non-verbal communication in our daily
lives?
 F. Application
The class will be divided into four groups. Each group will be required to have
a short scenario to be performed in front. These scenes must come from a play or film. The
groups can only have four scenes from a play they chose. Of course, before coming up with
the performance, there must be a script. The script should contain verbal and non-verbal
cues. For example: “Girl: Hi! (waiving)”
It is up to the group leaders how they will divide the tasks. As long as all the
members will participate, a script will be produced, and a short role-play will be performed.

IV. EVALUATION/ASSESSMENT
The teacher will divide the class into two groups. The students will play
charades. It is a game of pantomimes; one has to “act out” a phrase without speaking, while
the other members of their team try to guess what the phrase is. The objective is for the
team to guess the phrase as quickly as possible.
