Summary
Highlights
The teacher, Louie Johnson P. Bastasa, introduces himself and the lesson on verbal and nonverbal communication for English 11. He then leads the class in prayer, manages classroom tidiness, checks attendance, and reviews a previous assignment.
The class reviews the elements of communication discussed previously. The teacher introduces the new topic of verbal and nonverbal communication by having students differentiate between two pictures, leading to a discussion about how people communicate.
The teacher presents the lesson objectives. Students engage in a partner activity to discuss their future dreams, with an additional instruction to observe their partner's nonverbal behavior during the conversation.
Students share their observations from the partner activity, noting things like fast talking and facial expressions. A student's question about the necessity of facial expressions in communication leads to an example using Mr. Bean to illustrate the importance of nonverbal cues.
The lesson delves into differentiating verbal and nonverbal communication using four variables: medium (words vs. body/tone), channels (single vs. multiple), examples (telephone conversations vs. scenarios requiring visual contact), and decoding (easier for verbal due to single channel).
Students participate in a role-play activity, exhibiting verbal and nonverbal communication through personas of new students. The teacher synthesizes the lesson, emphasizing that both verbal and nonverbal communication must work together for effective message delivery.
The teacher reviews the achieved objectives. For assessment, students are asked to differentiate verbal and nonverbal communication using a creative graphic organizer. The class is then given an assignment to research communication barriers and provide preventive measures for experienced ones.
