Teachers’ Activities Students’ Activities

Let us all stand and pray. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of
the Holy Spirit, Amen…....

2. Greetings
Good afternoon everyone! Good Afternoon ma’am!

Fine and Good ma’am!

How are you today?

Oh! I’m glad you are fine today!

3. Checking of Attendance
Now, let me check your attendance
first. Say present as I call your name.
(The students will respond as the teacher calls
their names.)

B. Review

Do you still remember our lesson yesterday?

Yes ma’am!
 What was it all about?
Yesterday we talked about the barriers to
communications.

Good job! Who among you here would like to

share their learnings about the previous topic?

The barriers to communication are:

1. Emotional Barrier
2. Use of Jargons
3. Lack of confidence
4. Noisy environment

Precisely! I am glad that you can still

remember those barriers to communication.

C. Motivation

Today we’re going to play a game called

charade. Are you familiar with this game?
Yes ma’am!
That’s good! Since you are already familiar
with the mechanics of the game.

Let us first divide the class into two groups. ( The class will be grouped into two)

I have here strips of paper which contain titles

of different movies.

Instruction:
1. One representative from each group will pick a
piece of paper and will act out the phrase without
speaking.

2. The members will try to guess what the phrase

is.

3. The group with the highest score will be

considered the winner.

Is everything clear?
Yes ma’am!
Great! Let’s start!
(The students will do the activity)

D. Discussion

Now, the activity that we did a while ago, has

something to do with our lesson today. But before
that, let us read our objectives first.

Yes Claudette? (Student will read the objectives)

Is everything clear?
Yes ma’am!
 On your activity earlier, you were able to guess
some of the titles of the movies. What did you use in
guessing the title of the movies?
We used words!

What about in acting out the titles. What were

your techniques to let your members guess the
phrase? We used different kind of gestures ma’am!

Exactly! So, that means that we can communicate

not just through words but through actions or
gestures as well. Right?
Yes ma’am!
Today, we will be talking about verbal and non-
verbal communication.

First, let us define verbal communication is.

Please read.

Yes Addie?
(A student will read the definition of verbal
communication.)

(The teacher will expound the term.)

There are things that we also need to consider in

verbal communication. Can you read them?

(A student will read the things to consider in

verbal communication.)

(The teacher will explain these things)

Now, if there is verbal communication, there is

also nonverbal communication. What do you think
is this?
Nonverbal communication is an interaction
where actions are used to convey a message.
Very good!
In other words, nonverbal communication is an
interaction without the use of words. Our actions
and behavior can be used instead.

Now there are reasons why mastery of non-

verbal communication is very important.

(The teacher will flash these reasons and will

explain these.)

Is everything clear?
Yes ma’am!
 Do you have any questions or clarifications?

None so far!
E. Application
Now, with the same group a while ago, you are
going to prepare a short role playing about a
particular scene from a particular play or movie.
Verbal communication and nonverbal
communication should be seen in your presentation.

(The students will do the activity.)

F. Generalization
Can someone differentiate verbal communication
from nonverbal communication?
Verbal communication is the use of words
to convey a message or to express a feeling to
someone, while nonverbal communication is
the interaction to others without the use of
words but actions and behavior, instead.
Very good! Do you have any questions?

None so far!

IV. Evaluation

Write T if the statement is true and F if the statement is false. (1/4 sheet of paper)

1. Consider ethics in your speech at all times.

2. Effective use of nonverbal communication can strengthen your message.
3. How you communicate reflects who you are as a person.
4. One way to help you build credibility is through effective nonverbal communication.
5. There are certain words that are only appropriate at certain times and places.
6. To achieve clarity, we must speak the same language as our listeners.
7. The use of too many fillers can distract your listeners.
8. Verbal communication is better than nonverbal communication.
9. When you talk to others, you should not assume too quickly that they understand the
message that you convey.
