Nature of Communication
1. Communication is a process.
2. Communication occurs between two or more people (the speaker and the
receiver).
3. Communication can be expressed through written or spoken words, actions
(nonverbal), or both spoken words and nonverbal actions at the same time.
Elements of Communication

Communication is divided into elements which help us better understand its
mechanics or process.

Distribute strips of paper containing the elements of the communication
process. The teacher will ask volunteers to present the communication diagram.
Possible Answer
Communication is a two-way process which helps people understand each
other. It has the following elements: Sender which is responsible for encoding the
message, the channel where the message goes through, and the receiver who will then
decode the message and will then provide a response. Sometimes there will be
barriers/noise that will make the communication difficult.
A. Activity:
The teacher will group the class into five. He/she will assign a scenario to the
group. Students will answer the question “What’s missing in the process?” and write
their answer on a task card.
Group 1
Make a tableau of a family whose attention is only on watching television,
one person taps the television for poor reception.
(There is no response from the receiver. The reaction of the receiver is limited to
himself and does not reach back the sender.)
Group 2
Present a pantomime of a teacher discussing with students.
(Elements are complete)
Group 3
Sing the chorus of the song “Hello” by Adelle.
“Hello from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter. It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore”
(The response was not made because the supposed receiver did not accept the
message/ignored the message.)

This model, however, has been criticized for missing one essential element in
the communication process: feedback. Without feedback, the speaker will not
know whether the receiver understands the message or not.

3. Did the message come across to the receiver effectively? How?
4. Who, in your opinion, is a good communicator?
5. Why do you think he/she communicates well?
C. Abstraction:
1. Completeness
Complete communication is essential to the quality of the communication
process in general. Hence, communication should include everything that the
receiver needs to hear for him/ her to respond, react, or evaluate properly.
2. Conciseness
Conciseness does not mean keeping the message short, but making it direct or
straight to the point. Insignificant or redundant information should be
eliminated from the communication that will be sent to the recipient.
3. Consideration
To be effective, the speaker should always consider relevant information about
his/her receiver such as mood, background, race, preference, education, status,
and needs, among others. By doing so, he/she can easily build rapport with the
audience.
4. Concreteness
Effective communication happens when the message is concrete and
supported by facts, figures, and real-life examples and situations. In this case,
the receiver is more connected to the message conveyed.
5. Courtesy
The speaker shows courtesy in communication by respecting the culture,
values, and beliefs of his/her receivers. Being courteous at all times creates a
positive impact on the audience.
6. Clearness
Clearness in communication implies the use of simple and specific words to
express ideas. It is also achieved when the speaker focuses only on a single
objective in his/her speech so as not to confuse the audience.
7. Correctness
Correctness in grammar eliminates negative impact on the audience and
increases the credibility and effectiveness of the message.

themselves and their actions based on multifarious cultural viewpoints.
World Bank (2010) identifies the following traits that define a competent
intercultural communicator:
Note that in addition to culture, other elements such as gender, age, social
status, and religion must also be taken into consideration when communicating with
others. Refrain from showing bias when talking to someone by following these tips:
1. Avoid stereotypes.
2. Challenge gender norms; avoid using “he” and “man” to refer to a general
group of people.

Purpose
When a speaker seeks to inform, they want the audience to leave the speech
knowing more than they knew beforehand. Speakers may want to explain an idea or
process, share new information, or show how to do something.
When a speaker aims to persuade an audience, they want them to adopt a new
position or belief, to change their minds, or to be moved to action. Persuasion calls a
speaker to advocate one position among others that are possible and be willing to
defend it against challenges.
Summarize the key concepts of the lesson. Stress the importance of organizing
oral presentations to get your message across clearly. Also, listening well to oral
35
presentations will not only help you understand the speaker’s purpose but also
expands your knowledge and understanding of certain issues.

VI. Reflection
Appendix A
I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the
world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college
graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three
stories.
I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another
18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?
37
It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and
she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college
graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that
when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who
were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: “We have an unexpected baby boy;
do you want him?” They said: “Of course.” My biological mother later found out that my mother had
never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to
sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I
would someday go to college.
And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as
Stanford, and all of my working-class parents’ savings were being spent on my college tuition. After
six months, I couldn’t see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea
how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents
had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was
pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I
dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn’t interest me, and begin dropping in on
the ones that looked interesting.
It wasn’t all romantic. I didn’t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends’ rooms, I returned
Coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every
Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I
stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give
you one example:
Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout
the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I
had dropped out and didn’t have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to
learn how to do this. I learned about serif and sans serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space
between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful,
historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can’t capture, and I found it fascinating.
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But 10 years later, when we were
designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It
was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in
college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since
Windows just copied the Mac, it’s likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never
dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might
not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots
looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backward 10 years later.
38
Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So
you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something —
your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the
difference in my life.
I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents’ garage
when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage
into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the
Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from
a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to
run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the
future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors
sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult
life was gone, and it was devastating.
I really didn’t know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of
entrepreneurs down — that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David
Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure,
and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me
— I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been
rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.
I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have
ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a
beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my
life.
During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell
in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world’s first
computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the
world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology
we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple’s current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a
wonderful family together.
I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple. It was awful
tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick.
Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.
You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work
is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe
39
is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet,
keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like
any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find
it. Don’t settle.
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last,
someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33
years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my
life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for
too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make
the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of
embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly
important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking
you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly
showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn’t even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this
was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than
three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor’s
code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you’d have the next 10
years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will
be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope
down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a
few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed
the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of
pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.
This was the closest I’ve been to facing death, and I hope it’s the closest I get for a few more decades.
Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a
useful but purely intellectual concept:
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet
death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because
Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to
40
make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will
gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma —
which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions
drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and
intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was
one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here
in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960s, before
personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors and Polaroid
cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: It was
idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.
Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its
course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their
final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself
hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” It
was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished
that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

IV. Procedure
Preliminary activities:
Setting the class
Prayer
Greeting
Checking of attendance
Review
Call random students to share about their thoughts on Steve Job’s speech.
A. Reinforcement Activity
Present the speech titles that they will be reading. Tell them to use the
following strategies as they read to help them comprehend the speech better. This
strategy allows students to apply their inquiry skills on a scientific standpoint like
when they’re doing a research project.
1. Predict – ask what the text is about
2. Question – ask questions about what you don’t understand
3. Clarify – re-read for clarification
4. Summarize – write a synthesis of the text read
42
Group the class into six. Provide each group a copy of a speech and
integrating the suggested strategies, have them identify and discuss the speaker’s
purpose. Have them write down the purpose of the speech and the context clues that
support their claim in a manila paper. A representative from each group will then
present their output after 30 minutes. Each group is given 5 minutes to present their
output and 3 minutes to answer questions from the teacher and the audience.
I had to spend a week or so in the hospital last year. A minor ear infection turned into
some major problems for my immune system. I was fairly depressed and frustrated
one night after my doctor had given me the news that still more tests would be
needed, which meant another few days in an uncomfortable bed with people poking
and prodding at me.
As I thought about it, the pain began again, and I was sure that my condition might
only become more serious. About the time I began to wonder if I would ever see my
own home again, my best friend from high school stopped by. She was, quite literally,
our class clown. She always had a great joke on the tip of her tongue. She was the
mascot at the football games because her antics were so funny. Even now I can't help
but smile when I think about her.
Two hours after she left, I felt great. I had no pain when I woke up the next morning,
and that evening, all of my test results were positive. A miracle? Actually, yes. Study
after study has indicated that humor has interesting healing powers.
One way that humor can help to heal is that it literally changes our outlook on life. As
we laugh, we have trouble seeing life's difficulties the same way. Suddenly, our
problems don't seem quite as bad. Humor allows one to distance him/herself from a
painful physical or medical situation while also acknowledging that he or she is in
such a situation.
Recent mental health studies have shown that laughter can stimulate areas of the brain
that release endorphins, helping us to see our situation more clearly.
The benefits of humor, though, aren't all mental. Humor triggers laughter. According
to physiological studies, the laughter, in turn, stimulates our cardiovascular systems
by increasing the rate at which the heart beats and contracting the muscles. In fact,
one study suggested that laughing one hundred times per day is the equivalent of
spending ten minutes on a rowing machine.
One study went so far as to suggest that the benefits of laughter reach far beyond our
body system. "Laughter reduces levels of certain stress hormones which suppress the
immune system and increase the number of blood platelets - which can cause
43
obstructions in arteries, and raise blood pressure," said one researcher. "When we're
laughing, natural killer cells that destroy cancer cells increase, as does the level of
Gamma-interferon - a disease-fighting protein, T-cells - a major part of the immune
system, and B-cells - which make disease-destroying antibodies. Laughter may also
increase the concentration of salivary immunoglobulin A, which defends against
infectious organisms entering through the respiratory tract so it helps us to resist colds
and viruses." That makes quite a case of the adage "A barrel of laughs a day keeps the
doctor away."
Seeing the humor in our painful or emotional situations can free us from the chains
we have built around ourselves, helping us to recognize that life is more than anger or
pain or sorrow, but that it is full of humor and the contagious sound of laughter.
We need to understand, the human mind is the most powerful tool we own, but it can
also be the most DESTRUCTIVE
And we need to learn how to take control of the direction of our mind and our
emotions
You mind is going to provide you your greatest challenges in life, because it is so
powerful
So, if you can conquer your mind, you can pretty much conquer anything else around
you, literally.
When writing the story of your life – make sure YOU hold the pen
Make sure not only that you hold the pen, but you write the script from your heart. Be
brave when writing your script, it’s your story and there are NO LIMITS to what you
can have, what you can do or what you can be.
It’s easy to be all positive and consistent when everything is going your way
But that’s not life, that’s not realistic!
Are you going to be one of the very few to stand up when things are tough, when
44
everything is going against you.
Will you be able to believe in what’s right, and what brings results to your life.
THAT’S WHEN YOUR CHARACTER WILL SHINE!
THAT’S WHEN YOUR STORY WILL BE BORN!
YOUR story is valuable!
YOUR story of success!
You can’t build a STORY if you stop now. If you give up.
The world is full of people who gave up.
THE WORLD NEEDS HOPE. WE ALL DO.
The world needs you to STAND UP – to fight through your challenging moments,
To SHINE through the dark times
To love through the hate, and to be the difference in an indifferent world.
To BELIVE IN YOURSELF
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE DOUBTERS, and people below you, and people trying
to put you down so they can feel higher, but you gotta STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF.
BELIEVE in your mind. Have some tunnel vision.
Then one day you will have your moment.
Because ANYTHING is possible if you just BELIEVE!
Struggles, challenges and hard times offer you much more value than any other time
in your life. You can not grow without struggle. You can not get STRONGER without
resistance. Think about a time in your life that may have been hard, but forced you to
become better. Get grateful for the struggles and WORK on yourself to ensure your
future has much more PLEASURE than PAIN.
Imagine if you got what you want, every time. No struggle. No hard work. No
challenges. No hard work required.
Some of you are saying… that would be great… You would be weak!
And then, when something hard comes up in your life, you wouldn’t know how to
45
handle it, because you have never gone through anything that strengthens you.
You can not GROW without struggle. You can not develop STRENGTH without
resistance, without challenging yourself, without struggle.
PAIN is your friend. Maybe not in the moment. But for the evolution of your soul, for
the long term benefit of you as a stronger human being – pain IS YOUR FRIEND.
If you didn’t have failures… If you didn’t have struggles… If you didn’t have
disappointment, you could have no strength, no courage, no compassion. How could
you? Those qualities are MADE from your pain and struggle.
You were given pain because you are strong enough to handle it. You were given this
LIFE because you are strong enough to live it. Because you are strong enough to drive
though it. To THRIVE THROUGH IT. To inspire others through it.
So don’t you give up. You have a purpose in this world. And you will only find it if
you keep going and keep GROWING.

A. Activity

Activity 1: Call random students to act out the following monologues
highlighting famous lines from Disney movies.
Suggested monologues:
Aladdin: “But I do like Jasmine. I mean, “The Princess!” Ugh! I must’ve
sounded so silly! Then again, what does it matter? I’m never going to see
her again. Me, the “street rat!” Besides, she deserves a prince. Or at least
someone better than me. Oh, why did I ever meet her? Boy, I’m glad I met
her! Look at this junk! I bet no one’s been in here for years. Something’s
written on this thing. Let’s see here.....” (Aladdin)
Dory: “No. No, you can't. ...STOP! Please don't go away. Please? No
one's ever stuck with me for so long before. And if you leave...if you
leave... I just, I remember things better with you! I do, look! P. Sherman,
forty-two...forty-two... I remember it, I do. It's there, I know it is, because
when I look at you, I can feel it. And...and I look at you, and I...and I'm
home! Please...I don't want that to go away. I don't want to
forget.”(Finding Nemo)
Dorothy: “But it wasn't a dream. It was a place. And you and you and
you...and you were there. But you couldn't have been could you? No, Aunt
Em, this was a real truly live place and I remember some of it wasn't very
nice, but most of it was beautiful--but just the same all I kept saying to
everybody was "I want to go home," and they sent me home! Doesn't
anybody believe me? But anyway, Toto, we're home! Home. And this is my
room, and you're all here and I'm not going to leave here ever, ever again.
Because I love you all. And... Oh Auntie Em! There's no place like home!”
(Wizard of Oz)
B. Analysis
After the short performances, ask the students the following:
How were the lines delivered?
What strategies did the actors employ in delivering their lines?
What do you think makes the delivery of a message effective?
If given the chance to deliver any of those lines, how would you have
done it? Why?
Do you think watching how communication works is important?
Why?
C. Abstraction
49
4. Take time to respond. After you’ve listened (and understood) take time to
“draft” in your head what you want to say.
5. Make sure you are understood. Don’t blame the other person for not
understanding. Instead, look for ways to clarify or rephrase what you
are trying to say so it can be understood.
6. Develop your listening skills, too. The best communicators are almost
always the best listeners. Listen without judgment and don’t be
distracted by thinking about what you want to say next. Then, respond,
not react.
7. Body language is important. Studies show that 65% of all communication
is non-verbal. Watch for visual signs that your listener understands,
agrees or disagrees with your message. And be aware that your body is
sending signals, too.
8. Maintain eye contact. Whether speaking to a crowd or one-on-one,
maintaining eye contact builds credibility and demonstrates you care
about your listeners.
9. Respect your audience. Recognize your message is not just about you or
what you want. You should sincerely care about the needs and the
unique perspectives of those to whom you are communicating. One of
the best ways to show your respect is simply by paying attention to
what they say.
D. Application
Students group themselves into five. They will watch a short video clip
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSmq4Wsz28w) carefully. Each group is
provided with five different emoticons: love, like, wow, sad, happy. Each group take
turns showing their reaction to a video and share the reason for their choice.

TRY TO CONNECT!
The teacher makes use of the essential questions below as guide in clarifying
key understanding about the topic at hand and to elicit their feelings about the activity
or the topic:
C. Abstraction
After the activity, the teacher will process students understanding of the
topic through the following questions:
53
express ideas which can be easily understood by the person you are talking to.
Consider appropriateness, brevity, clarity, ethics, and vividness when engaging in this
type of communication.
1. Appropriateness
The language that you use should be appropriate to the environment or
occasion (i.e., whether formal or informal).
2. Brevity
Speakers who often use simple yet precise and powerful words are
found to be more credible. Try to achieve brevity by being more direct with
your words. Avoid fillers and insubstantial expressions which do not add to
the message, such as “uh, “you know,” “I guess,” and others.
3. Clarity
The meaning of words, feelings, or ideas may be interpreted differently
by a listener; hence, it is essential for you to clearly state your message and
express your ideas and feelings.
4. Ethics
Words should be carefully chosen in consideration of the gender, roles,
ethnicity, preferences, and status of the person or people you are talking to.
5. Vividness
1. It enhances and emphasizes the message of your speech, thus making it more
meaningful, truthful, and relevant.
2. It can communicate feelings, attitudes, and perceptions without you saying a
word.
3. It can sustain the attention of listeners and keep them engaged in the speech.
4. It gives the audience a preview to the type of speaker you are.
5. It makes you appear more dynamic and animated in your delivery.
6. It serves as a channel to release tension and nervousness.
7. It helps make your speech more dramatic.
8. It can build a connection with listeners.
9. It makes you a credible speaker.
10. It helps you vary your speaking style to avoid a monotonous delivery.
54
D. Application
Ask students to look for a partner and let them think of their favorite
celebrity, politician, or a famous personality with natural gestures. Ask them to
demonstrate these gestures in class and explain how this could help express the
speaker’s message clearly.

E. Materials : Laptop, PowerPoint Presentation, Rubric
IV Procedure:
Preliminaries:
A. Activity
The students will be asked to watch a video and to listen to the speech
entitled “Trust is a Must” by Ryan Avery of USA, 2012 Champion. (Link of the
video is provided in the references).
Ask the students to observe and evaluate how the speaker delivers his
speech.
Then the students will be asked to give their observation orally.
B. Analysis
After watching the video, the teacher will process students’ understanding
through the guide questions below:
C. Abstraction
It was Dale Carnegie who said, “You can conquer almost any fear if you
will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn’t exist anywhere
except in the mind.” A common fear among many people is the fear of public
speaking. The idea of standing in front of an audience to persuade or present
often causes worry and anxiety, but it doesn’t have to. If you can remember Dale
Carnegie’s words about fear and follow the strategies below, you will overcome
your public speaking fear in no time.
66
In order to speak well in front of multiple people, you need to have your
entire presentation planned out. Just as you would create an outline for a research
paper, you should do the same for your presentation. You’ll need to support your
ideas, so think of examples that you can use as evidence. Try to structure your
thoughts in a way that makes sense, and create a sense of completeness with a
beginning, middle, and end.
2. Be Prepared
You will need to practice your speech significantly in order to feel
confident while speaking. Don’t wait until the last minute to prepare or you will
not feel ready to present. Instead of trying to memorize every word, only
memorize the key points of your outline and the examples you will be using for
support. You want to be engaged, not robotic-sounding. Your speech should flow
naturally, as if you were having a conversation with another person.
3. Start Confidently
The opening of your presentation will determine how the rest of the
speech goes, so speak with assertiveness and at a volume where everyone can
easily hear you. Try opening with a strong statement and bold language in
order to convey confidence. Remember that the audience has no prior opinions
or thoughts on what you are going to say, and you are the authoritative source
in this situation.
5. Slow Down
67
between sentences, and an even bigger pause between paragraphs or major
points in your argument.
6. Be Human
9. Use Props
If appropriate, bring props to punctuate your speech for your audience.
This can be anything useful such as a graph to handout to all attendees or even
a personal item to drive home your speech’s content. Props can personalize
your speech and add interest or humor. Limit yourself to one or two props
maximum per speech.

A. Activity:
To introduce the concept of speech styles, the teacher will ask these questions:
How would you ask each of the following people to wait for
you/give you a moment?
Classmates (trend in the answers must generally follow a casual
speech style)
Close family members or boyfriends/girlfriends
(trend in answers must generally follow the intimate speech style)
Cashier at a store
(trend in answers must generally follow the consultative speech
style)
Use the answers to point out that although students were basically
sending the same message to each of the given people, they phrased
differently depending on who they were talking to.
Group the class into 6. Let the students create a short role play
portraying the scenes presented above.
B. Analysis:
C. Abstraction:
The teacher will discuss the types of Speech Styles and give examples.
The context dictates and affects the way people communicate, which
results in various speech styles. According to Joos (1968), there are five
speech styles. These are (1) intimate, (2) casual, (3) consultative, (4) formal,
and (5) frozen.
97
Each style dictates what appropriate language or vocabulary should be
used or observed.
4. Formal – This style is used in formal settings. Unlike the consultative style,
this is one-way.
Examples are sermons by priests and ministers, State of the
Nation Address of the President, formal speeches, or
pronouncements by judges.
Identify the type of speech style appropriate for the following situations.
Write your answer before the number. This is done individually.

2. What was your observation on the language form that each group used in
their presentation? Did they differ? How?
3. What do you think is the reason behind the differences? Is it because of the
person they are communicating with?
4. Can you distinguish the degree of formality in their communication? Who
among the group are the most formal/ less formal? Why?
C. Abstraction:
Discuss the following:
FIVE TYPES OF SPEECH STYLE
1. FROZEN STYLE
Used generally in very formal setting.
-Most formal communicative style for respectful situation
-Does not require any feedback from the audience
-Usually uses long sentences with good grammar and vocabulary
-The use of language is fixed and relatively static
2. FORMAL STYLE
3. CONSULTATIVE STYLE
104
- Sentences end to be shorter and spontaneous
4. CASUAL STYLE
- Language used between friends
- Often very relaxed and focused on just getting the information out
- Slangs are quite often used in these instances
- This style is used in informal situations and language
- Relationship between speaker and hearer is closed.
5. INTIMATE STYLE
- Completely private language used within family of very close friends or
group
- Uses personal language codes
- Grammar is unnecessary
- Does not need complete language
- Certain terms of endearment, slangs or expressions whose meaning is
shared with a small subset of persons to person
- Knowing this things can help one prevent misunderstandings and
arguments from happening because if we don’t watch what we say, we
would look disrespectful in front of others.

The utterance would lead to the addressee washing the clothes.
This theory was further classified by John Searle. He states that the taxonomy
used by Austin is defective, especially in its lack of comprehensive criteria for
distinguishing one kind of illocutionary force from one another.
Searle divides illocutionary acts into five types:
d. De_ _a_a_i_e (Declarative)-in this type of act the speakers alters the
external status or condition of an object, situation or context solely by
making the utterance.
Example:
You are fired!

Preliminary activities:
A. Activity:
117
explore the wonderful places in the Philippines. While watching the video
clip, think about what for you is a must-see in the country.
After watching the video, group yourselves into five members each. Decide on
the “Most Exciting Tourist Spot” in the country. Assign a speaker who will
share your decision and reasons for this with the class. You have 10 minutes.
This activity enables students to communicate with each other and collaborate
to arrive at a decision. Through this decision-making process, various
communicative strategies are used by the students to come to a conclusion.
B. Analysis
C. Abstraction
Types of Communicative Strategy
Since engaging in conversation is also bound by implicit rules, Cohen (1990)
states that strategies must be used to start and maintain a conversation.
Knowing and applying grammar appropriately is one of the most basic
strategies to maintain a conversation. The following are some strategies that
people use when communicating.
1. Nomination
A speaker carries out nomination to collaboratively and productively
establish a topic. Basically, when you employ this strategy, you try to
open a topic with the people you are talking to.
When beginning a topic in a conversation, especially if it does not arise from a
previous topic, you may start off with news inquiries and news announcements
as they promise extended talk. Most importantly, keep the conversational
environment open for opinions until the prior topic shuts down easily and
initiates a smooth end. This could efficiently signal the beginning of a new
topic in the conversation.
2. Restriction
118
Restriction in communication refers to any limitation you may have as
a speaker. When communicating in the classroom, in a meeting, or while
hanging out with your friends, you are typically given specific instructions that
you must follow. These instructions confine you as a speaker and limit what
you can say.
For example, in your class, you might be asked by your teacher to brainstorm
on peer pressure or deliver a speech on digital natives. In these cases, you
cannot decide to talk about something else. On the other hand, conversing with
your friends during ordinary days can be far more casual than these examples.
Just the same, remember to always be on point and avoid sideswiping from the
topic during the conversation to avoid communication breakdown.
3. Turn-taking
Sometimes people are given unequal opportunities to talk because
others take much time during the conversation. Turn-taking pertains to the
process by which people decide who takes the conversational floor. There is a
code of behavior behind establishing and sustaining a productive conversation,
but the primary idea is to give all communicators a chance to speak.
Remember to keep your words relevant and reasonably short enough to
express your views or feelings. Try to be polite even if you are trying to take
the floor from another speaker. Do not hog the conversation and talk
incessantly without letting the other party air out their own ideas. To
acknowledge others, you may employ visual signals like a nod, a look, or a
step back, and you could accompany these signals with spoken cues such as
“What do you think?” or “You wanted to say something?”
4. Topic Control
Topic control covers how procedural formality or informality affects
the development of topic in conversations. For example, in meetings, you may
only have a turn to speak after the chairperson directs you to do so. Contrast
this with a casual conversation with friends over lunch or coffee where you
may take the conversational floor anytime.
Remember that regardless of the formality of the context, topic control
is achieved cooperatively. This only means that when a topic is initiated, it
should be collectively developed by avoiding unnecessary interruptions and
topic shifts. You can make yourself actively involved in the conversation
without overly dominating it by using minimal responses like “Yes,” “Okay,”
“Go on”; asking tag questions to clarify information briefly like “You are
excited, aren’t you?”, “It was unexpected, wasn’t it?”; and even by laughing!
5. Topic Shifting
Topic shifting, as the name suggests, involves moving from one topic
to another. In other words, it is where one part of a conversation ends and
where another begins.
When shifting from one topic to another, you have to be very intuitive.
Make sure that the previous topic was nurtured enough to generate adequate
views. You may also use effective conversational transitions to indicate a shift
like “By the way,” “In addition to what you said,” “Which reminds me of,”
and the like.
119
6. Repair
Repair refers to how speakers address the problems in speaking,
listening, and comprehending that they may encounter in a conversation. For
example, if everybody in the conversation seems to talk at the same time, give
way and appreciate other’s initiative to set the conversation back to its topic.
Repair is the self-righting mechanism in any social interaction
(Schegloff et al, 1977). If there is a problem in understanding the
conversation, speakers will always try to address and correct it. Although this
is the case, always seek to initiate the repair.
7. Termination
Termination refers to the conversation participants’ close-initiating
expressions that end a topic in a conversation. Most of the time, the topic
initiator takes responsibility to signal the end of the discussion as well.
Although not all topics may have clear ends, try to signal the end of the
topic through concluding cues. You can do this by sharing what you learned
from the conversation. Aside from this, soliciting agreement from the other
participants usually completes the discussion of the topic meaningfully.
D. Application:
E. Assessment:
Now that the class has picked the “Most Exciting Tourist Spot in the
Philippines” (done in Activity 1), the class will pretend to plan a trip and go there!
120
In your group (same with Activity 1), pretend that you are members of the Class
Field Trip Committee.
Your teacher will assign you to role play three of the prompts below. You have 30
minutes to prepare and 15 minutes to present. Make sure to assign people to play the
other characters mentioned in each scene. Make sure that you engage in
communicative situation using acceptable, polite and meaningful communicative
strategies.
Scene 1: While eating in the canteen, you go over the brochures of the tourist spot for
the field trip. You talk about various information about the location.
Scene 2: You decide on the final itinerary of the field trip and discuss the details such
as transportation, accommodation, meals, and itinerary.
Scene 3: You are tasked to present the final itinerary to the students’ parents during
the quarterly parents’ meeting.
Scene 4: Upon arrival at your destination, you talk to the hotel concierge about your
reservations. You inquire about breakfast schedules, hotel keys, extra
beddings, and room service.
Scene 5: You ask a police officer and a street vendor (on two different instances) for
directions to the beach because the class is lost somewhere in town.
Scene 6: The class needs to eat in the nearest fast-food restaurant. After taking all
the orders from your classmates, you go to the counter to place the orders.
However, some of the orders are not available so you ask for alternate
combos
from the fast- food crew, and you make decisions for the rest of the class.
Scene 7: You have a free half day before your trip back home, so you decide on what
to do as members of the field trip committee. Your ideas and suggestions
clash, but ultimately everything is cleared out and you present the final plan
to your classmates.

Prayer
Greeting
Checking of attendance
A. Activity:
131
Let the students watch a video of Merriam Defensor Santiago
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv26RfIUK00). Each student will write
down observation on the changes or shift of the communicative strategy of
the speakers in terms of:
a. message
b. delivery
B. Analysis:
C. Abstraction:
The Message – This is the core concept of the interaction. When the speaker is
able to answer all the questions of the listener beforehand and received by
them positively, then the message is correct and acceptable.
The Delivery – This is affected whether the listeners are able to fully
understand the concept implied or creates doubtful remarks. Proper delivery
requires techniques which demand the speaker to express thoroughly.
When communicative strategies are used effectively, both the speaker and
listener improve their interactive inputs and outputs.
D. Application:
Let the student watch this video clip and explain how a shift in
speech context, speech style, speech act and communicative strategy affects
the message and delivery of the speech. Write the answer in ½ crosswise sheet
of paper.
Refer to this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSmq4Wsz28w
.
E. Assessment
Think of a time when you had to explain one message in two different
instances with varying contexts. For example, you might have told your
parents over dinner how badly you want to study in your dream
university and in another instance, you talked about the same thing with
your friends while having coffee.
In an essay with a minimum of 500 words, discuss why your
communicative strategies change as there are adjustments in every speech
context, speech style, and speech act. Discuss your language, duration of
interaction, your relationship to the listener, your roles and responsibilities as a
132
speaker, your message, and your delivery and how these differ in the two
varying instances and contexts.
Use the following format: font 12, Times New Roman; spacing, 1.5,
legal bond paper.
F. Assignment:
Reflect on the learning that you gained after taking up this lesson by
completing the given chart. Write in one whole sheet of paper.

physical structure of an object or the way things fit together in a certain
space (Glendale Community College; University of Washington Tacoma).
Topics that deal with geography fit this pattern best.
D. Cause-Effect Pattern. This can be used if you want to show the causal
relationship of events or phenomena. Your outline may follow different
patterns of organization depending on the relationship between the causes
and effects of the event.
D. Application
The teacher will ask the student to choose a topic that interests them. Then,
let them prepare a two- to three-minute informative speech whose specific aim is to
demonstrate the process of doing something.

C. Abstraction
145
5. Effective • Do you use any of the following effective techniques to
and grab the attention of your listeners and engage them in your
powerful speech?
ways to powerful and relevant question
gain the striking statistics
attention shocking incident
of your memorable anecdotes
audience humorous observations or experiences
This type questions the existence of a particular event or happening. In this case, the
persuasive speaker poses questions of fact, derives conclusions from different
sources of information, and attempts to convince the audience to believe in his/her
ideas. Below are a sample argument and a sample outline.
Argument: Death penalty as a punishment is not effective, as it does not deter crime.
B. Main Point: Death penalty does not work as an effective punishment because
it does not deter crime.
This type focuses on questions of value regarding topics on the self, family,
friendship, religion, government, freedom, love, and money, among others. In this
case, the persuasive speaker (1) makes a statement or claim which reflects his/her
146
judgment, (2) attempts to convince his/her audience of his/her judgment, and (3)
justifies it based on standards. Below are a sample argument and a sample outline.
This type questions the current state of things which can impact the future. In this
case, the persuasive speaker asks relevant questions that can help in making a
decision on whether or not something should be implemented, observed, or done.
Below are a sample argument and a sample outline:
A. Purpose: To persuade listeners that the death penalty should not be revived by
the government.
B. Main Point: The government should not revive death penalty as it does not
directly decrease the crime rate.
C. Supporting Idea: In the United States, it was found that states with no death
penalty have lower murder rates compared to those which have death penalty in
place (Bonner & Fessenden, 2000).
ORGANIZATIONAL PATTERNS
The following are some of the suggested patterns that you can use to organize your
persuasive speech.
147
(1) Anecdotes. Begin your speech with a personal story, observation, or experience.
(2) Facts and figures. Provide striking statistics that can support your ideas.
(3) Opinion. Add in your opinion. You can begin your statement with, “I believe
that…”
(4) Rhetorical questions. Think of and add engaging rhetorical questions (i.e.,
questions which do not intend to elicit answers, but to make a point).
(5) Emotive language. Appeal to your audience’s emotion.
(6) Superlatives. Use superlatives to exaggerate an idea.
(7) Tripling. The rule of three in the English writing principle simply entails using
three words together to reinforce your point. This may add to the effectiveness of your
persuasion. A classic example is Julius Caesar’s statement: “Veni, vidi, vici” (I came,
I saw, I conquered).
Below is an example.
Anecdote 1.0 Introduction 1.1 It is sad to share how my
friend’s father died of lethal injection years ago.
1.2 He suffered and was killed for a crime that
he never did.
1.3 There is no reason for the state to revive the
death penalty.
2.0 Body
Facts and 2.1 When RA 7659 or the Death Penalty Law
Figures was still active, six innocent people out of 10
convicts were executed.
Opinion 2.1.1 Reviving this is unjustifiable
Rhetorical 2.1.2 How many more innocent men and
Question women will suffer?
Emotive 2.1.3 We are a nation that values life and thinks
language that everyone deserves chances to change and
live for their families.
Superlatives 2.1.4 Revive the law only when the lives of
those wrongly sentenced are revived.
Tripling 2.1.5 Think. Analyze. Act.
For example:
148
C. Supporting Idea: There have been horrible reports and cases of discrimination
at work in terms of promotion and benefits. Hence, there is a need to create and
implement a policy related to this.
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Current status of LGBT in the
Problem workplace
1.2 Discrimination of LGBT in the
workplace
2.0 Body
Solution 2.1 Policy that clearly defines the rights of
LGBT
Support 1 2.1.1 for protection
Support 2 2.1.2 for recognition
3. PROBLEM-CAUSE-SOLUTION
For example:
A. Purpose: Persuade listeners why the state or government needs to converge with
the private sector in maintaining and protecting national heritage sites.
B. Main Point: Preserving our national heritage sites such as century-old churches,
theaters, and other artifacts is the least priority of the government, so they should tie-
up with private establishments to maintain these historical places.
4. Comparative Advantages
149
Below are the rules in applying this pattern.
For example:
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Vision of Philippine politics
Problem 1.2 Dirty politics
2.0 Body
Solution 1 2.1 Pass the genuine Freedom of
Information (FO1) Bill into law
Support 1 2.1.1 achieve transparency
Support 2 2.1.2 achieve good governance
Solution 2 2.2 Abolish Priority Development
Assistance Fund (PDAF) or Pork
Barrel
Support 1 2.2.1 Minimize illegal
transaction
Support 2 2.2.2 Minimize corruption
Comparison 2.3 Can be good solutions
Support 1 2.3.1 Practical
Support 2 2.3.2 Feasible
Alan Monroe, a professor from Purdue University, created an outline for making
speeches based on the psychology of persuasion (Ehninger, Monroe, & Granbeck,
1978). This outline is known as Monroe’s Motivated Sequence.
1. Grab the attention of the audience by identifying the challenge you plan to
confront, or the problem you plan to address.
2. Establish the need or urgency to address the identified challenge or problem.
3. Present possible solutions to your audience to satisfy the need.
4. Help your audience visualize. Use vivid words to convince your audience about the
benefits they can gain from the solutions you presented.
5. Engage the audience to participate in promoting change through a call for action.
For example:
150
A. Purpose: Persuade the audience to abstain from consuming alcohol. B. Main Point:
Abstaining from alcohol will help students live a healthy and safe life for themselves
and those around them while avoiding any criminal actions.
METHODS OF PERSUASION
Consider what Lucas (2011) writes about how the audience can be persuaded by a
speaker. The audience can be persuaded by the following reasons.
They perceive that the speaker has credibility.
They are convinced by the evidence presented by the speaker.
They are convinced by the speaker’s reasoning.
Their emotions are touched by the speaker’s ideas or use of language.
The above ideas highlight some of the methods you can use in your persuasive
speech. These methods are commonly used and proven to be effective by any
prominent and excellent speaker across the globe. The following are some tips on how
to enhance your credibility, how to use evidence, how to use reasoning, and how to
observe ethics and emotional appeal in a persuasive speech.
151
b. People in an inebriated state have higher chances
of being victims of sexual assault.
c. Alcohol abuse among the young could lead to
sexual behavior, which in turn leads to teenage
pregnancy or sexually-transmitted diseases.
Satisfaction 3. We have to educate the youth about the dangers of
drinking alcohol.
a. Videos and posts on the risks of underage drinking
can
be shared on various social platforms.
b. In school, events can be organized to promote
knowledge of the disadvantages and consequences of
underage drinking.
Visualization 4. We have to take it upon ourselves to act now if we do not
want the youth to be victims of the following potential
effects of underage drinking:
a. Accidents caused by underage drinking
b. Dropping out of school due to alcohol addiction
c. Sexual assault brought by drunken behavior
d. Teenage pregnancies
e. Alcoholism
Call to action 5. I earnestly challenge you to abstain from alcohol and to
take action and campaign against underage drinking. Are you
with me?
You can do this by sharing how well you read, investigated, or researched
the topic.
For example: You could share that in the beginning you did not know
much about your topic until you researched about it. By saying you researched on
your topic, your audience will feel that you made an effort in building your
credibility by collecting information.
You can do this by telling your audience that you have the same
experiences, beliefs, values or attitudes.
For example: In the beginning of your speech, you can emphasize to your
audience that regardless of background, status, age, gender, beliefs, and values,
among others, you all have one thing in common and then add that which you
have in common. By saying this, your audience will feel respected and
comfortable because you can identify with their experiences, beliefs, or values.
c. Practice more often so you can deliver your speech with conviction.
152
You can do this by exposing yourself more often to speaking situations
such as reciting and reading announcements in class, introducing people in a
program, hosting events, participating in debates, or acting as a spokesperson of a
group. Also, simply practicing more often before your actual speech performance
will increase your confidence and help you deliver your speech with conviction.
a. Specify evidence.
You can do this by citing statistics, research studies, and other valid and
credible information.
For example: When stating a fact, do not simply say a general detail. Instead
of saying, “There is a law that protects women and their children against
violence,” state the exact details, as in, “RA 9262 is an act that protects women
and their children against violence.” By specifying your evidence, you give the
impression that you know what you are saying.
You can do this by reading and digging new evidence to keep yourself
updated on the significant facts and figures.
For example: If you are arguing about social networking site addiction and
you are using data taken from 2000 or earlier, your speech might not hold enough
credibility and it might not retain the interest of your audience as well. Since we
are now in the Information Age, data quickly get old and replaced by more current
ones, so they quickly become irrelevant. Therefore, always make sure to use
current available data. This way, your speech will be more accurate and your
audiences will be more interested to listen.
For example: You are persuading your audience that your solution in improving
the interest of readers in Philippine literature is the most efficient method, but you
cite sources such as fan sites, Wiki answers, Yahoo answers, or blogs. This creates
a bad impression, as it might come off that your arguments and points are based
on unreliable facts. As a guide, Google, Yahoo, or any search engine can provide
you a wealth of reputable or credible sources for your evidence.
153
Ad Hominem:
This happens when you attack the character of a person instead of his argument.
Example: Professor X does not deserve to be the head of this organization because
he is separated from his wife. How to avoid: When you give your rebuttal, focus
on the arguments of the person, not on his/her character or values.
Circular Argument:
False Analogy:
This happens when two things, which might be alike in some respects, are
compared and assumed to be similar in other ways.
How to avoid:
Look at the characteristics, features, or components of two people or objects
closely to see whether they can really be compared or not.
False Authority:
This happens when a statement of someone who is not an expert in the field in
question is being used in an argument.
How to avoid: Check properly the qualifications of the person being cited.
This happens when the connection between two consecutive events are not clear.
Example: Because I attended a party, I got a high grade in my persuasive speech.
How to avoid: Clarify the connections between the events by explaining both
backgrounds clearly.
Hasty Generalization:
154
How to avoid: Provide enough pieces of evidence before making any conclusions.
Red Herring:
This happens when the answer does not address the question.
Example:
Question: Should the President sign Cyberbullying bill into law?
Answer: The President has other priorities.
How to avoid: Do not avoid opposing arguments. Instead, address them properly.
For example: If you use emotionally charged words, but you deliver it
in a monotonous voice, the audience will not see the sincerity of your
message. Instead, make sure to observe your non-verbal cues and to ensure
that you believe in what you are saying.

Williamson’s A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of a Course in
Miracles while the task of the listener is to give feedback on the performance
of the reader based on the Rubric for Oral Presentation.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is
that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that
most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of
God. You’re playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing
enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around
you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make
manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in
everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our
presence automatically liberates others.

word. The question is, for whom is the manuscript method most
advantageous?
168
example, we have speeches of different country’s spokespersons in an
international seminar on climate change.
3. Lastly, because everything is planned based on the time allotted, you will
surely want to cover everything in your speech before you run out of time.
This might affect your connection with the audience, as there is a tendency to
ignore the audience and neglect responding to their feedback when busy with
the speech. Pay attention and make sure to check and adjust if the audience
displays anxiety, impatience, or boredom.
1. Practice! Practice delivering the speech several times. Mark the text. Even
if it’s a manuscript, know the speech by heart. Only if you do these can you
keep frequent eye contact with the audience.
2. Adapt! Even if you have a manuscript, feel free to modify the text when the
situation demands it. If you observe that your audience is bored, you may use
shorter yet more vigorous words. If your audience is impatient, add words of
strong motivational power. If your audience is anxious, share personal
anecdotes to lighten the mood.
1. Prepare! Keep your text easy to use by neatly composing it in triple space.
2. Mark! Own your manuscript by highlighting key words and phrases. This
way you will be guided during the speech delivery.
3. Practice! You can make a lot of notes on the draft of your manuscript
during the first few rehearsals, but make sure to reprint your script,
especially if you make too many changes.
4. Practice some more! Read the text over and over orally. This will help you
avoid mispronounced words, faulty starts, and wrong pauses. As you
practice, vary the volume, rate, and pitch of your voice during appropriate
points in the speech.
169
5. Concentrate! Concentrate on keeping eye contact, but do not stare at only
one section of the audience. It is best if you familiarize yourself with the
most important parts of your speech. If you do this, you will be more
confident in looking at your audience during the key points of the speech.
6. Act it out! Use a lectern or a podium when practicing the speech. If you can
find one before the actual speech delivery, practice using it so that you will be
used to laying your notes flat on the podium and looking at them once in a
while.
D. Application
Have students work in groups of nine and assign a number from 1-9 to
each of the members.
Tell students to imagine that they are delivering an inaugural address
as the President of the Philippines. Let the students use the inaugural address
of His Excellency Diosdado Macapagal taken from the Official Gazette of the
Republic of the Philippines.
The transcript is divided into nine parts; each member of the group will deliver to the
class the part corresponding to his number.
1
“OUR MISSION” On this day, December 30, our national hero Jose Rizal
gave his life on this hallowed ground – the ideal manifestation of love of country and
dedication to the service of our people. It was therefore fitting that the framers of our
Constitution should decree that the highest official of the land shall be called upon to
assume office on this historical occasion. With deep humility, I accept the Nation’s
call to duty. Bound by the oath I have just taken, I am resolved that I shall be the
President not only of the members of my party but of all political groups; I shall be
President not only of the rich but more so of the poor; and I shall be President not
only of one sector but of all the people. The primary function of the President is not to
dispense favors but to dispense justice. The presidential oath of office contains the
special pledge to “do justice to every man.”
These shall not remain empty words, for with God’s help, I shall do justice to
every citizen, no matter how exalted or how humble may be his station in life. As we
open a new era in the life of our Nation, let us measure the tasks before us and set
forth our goals. Our aims are two-fold: first, to solve the immediate problems of the
present and, second, to build materially and spiritually for the future. Our first mission
is the solution of the problem of corruption. We assume leadership at a time when our
Nation is in the throes of a moral degeneration unprecedented in our national history.
Never within the span of human memory has graft permeated every level of
government. The solution of this problem shall call for the exercise of the tremendous
persuasive power of the Presidency. I shall consider it, therefore, my duty to set a
170
personal example in honesty and uprightness. We must prove that ours is not a Nation
of hopeless grafters but a race of good and decent men and women.
I intend to do more than this. Among the appropriate measures I shall take to
insure the eradication of this social cancer is to assume moral and political
responsibility for the general state of public morality in the country.
Our second mission is to attain self-sufficiency food of our people, namely,
rice and corn. The elemental needs of every people are food, clothing and shelter. We
shall give impetus to industries that will provide clothing for our population at
reasonable prices. In collaboration with private enterprise, we shall invigorate the
national housing program and devote particular attention to proper housing for
countrymen who earn the lowest income and the indigents who live under subhuman
conditions.
While attending to the people’s need for adequate clothing and shelter, the
urgent emphasis shall be on their need for staple food. With the cooperation of
Congress, we shall launch and implement a rice and corn program that shall bring
about sufficiency in the production of these cereals and make them available at prices
within the reach of the masses.
4
The basic national problem is the poverty of the masses. Our third mission,
therefore, is the creation of conditions that will provide more income for our people –
income for those who have none and more income for those whose earnings are
inadequate for their elemental needs. Millions of our people are unemployed and
millions more are under-employed. We must rectify this situation to help our people
attain a higher level of living and create the domestic buying power that can help
generate prosperity. Unless solved in time, this problem will worsen to the point of
disaster in view of our population explosion. The permanent solution to this problem
is the rapid and sound utilization of our vast and rich natural resources in order to
create opportunities for employment. We believe that the effective accomplishment of
this task should be left to the citizens themselves, that is, to private enterprise. But the
Government can and should help. Our Administration shall extend this help. Within
the maximum financial capacity of the Government, we shall initiate and carry out a
program to help solve unemployment and underemployment through massive
productive and labor-intensive projects calculated to create multiple job opportunities
while at the same time increasing the production, productivity and wealth of the land.
171
in the hands of private entrepreneurs with the least government interference while
making the Government assume the full responsibility for implementing the social
and public welfare program. I believe in private enterprise because I have faith in the
Filipino. I am convinced that if his future is placed in his own hands and conditions
are created in which he may seek his prosperity and carve his own destiny – with his
integrity, talent, industry and sense of sacrifice – he shall surmount attendant
difficulties, husband the natural bounty that God has bestowed for his well-being,
effectively provide for his needs and transform our country at an early time into a land
of abundance not only for a favored few but for each and every Filipino.
This then, in synthesis, is our mission, the trust that has been placed in our
hands by our people. We are called upon to attend to all functions of government,
including foreign relations in which we shall vigorously discharge our part in the
struggle against communism and strive to raise the prestige of the Republic before the
family of nations. While ministering to all the traditional public services, it is in the
accomplishment of these five missions that we must place stress and primary
attention, for their solution will facilitate the effective ministration of all the essential
public services the government is duty bound to maintain. It is incorrect to say that we
are out to solve all the problems of the Nation. No President can do that. Nation-
building is an exacting and endless endeavor. No President can build the whole
edifice of a nation. All that he is called upon to do, is to add a fine stone to that
edifice, so that those who shall come after him may add other fine stones that will go
for a strong and enduring structure. I stress anew that stone that we are assigned to
contribute to the edifice of a greater Philippines is, first, to attend to such short-range
problems as sufficiency in the staple food of the people, and more employment, and
second, to undertake a long-range task of moral renaissance and the implementation
of a socio-economic blueprint which, although not immediately achieving prosperity,
will lead to that prosperity for all our people.
172
8.
I believe that this is a mission formidable enough for any President. It is an
endeavor that calls for the utmost use of sound judgment, energy and, above all,
patriotism, which is demanded of all of us. It addresses itself to the leaders the three
great branches of our Government. It requires, on the part of all, a transfiguration of
attitude from political partisanship to statesmanship. In the deliberations of Congress
on the proclamation of the President and the Vice-President, the leaders and members
of Congress demonstrated their capacity to rise above partisan politics and proved
themselves equal to the challenge of patriotism. I express the hope that this
congressional performance was not a mere involuntary recognition of an undeniable
political fact but a wilful recognition of the need of setting aside political partisanship
in this time of national crisis in the interest of bipartisan collaboration in the common
task of providing, in the least time possible, a life of decency and prosperity for our
people. Above all, this mission requires the support of our people. No program can
succeed without popular sustenance. We shall need that faith and that support
demonstrated by our people in our election against appalling odds.
9
The beneficent effects of some of the concrete steps that we shall take may not
be immediately evident; what may, in fact, be instantly visible will be adverse but
transitory repercussions that in time will clear the way for the final and favorable
outcome. In those interludes of anxiety, we shall need the full trust and confidence of
our people, and we assure now that we shall deserve that trust and confidence because
in all our actions we shall never deviate from the course of integrity, sincerity, and
devotion to the welfare of the Nation. In the past electoral combat, our people showed
the strength of our democracy in this part of the world by bringing about a peaceful
change of Administration through the ballot and not through the bullet.
Simultaneously, democracy displayed its splendor by showing that under its aegis a
poor man who sprang from the humblest origin and who has not attained a state of
riches can rise to the Presidency of the Republic. I, whom the sovereign will in a
democracy has chosen as the means for the exhibition of the reality of its virtue of
offering equal opportunity to the rich and the poor alike, am now called upon to prove
that such a gift of opportunity to our humble citizenry shall not be in vain. With God’s
grace and the support of all citizens of good will and good faith, and of our common
people in particular, I pray with all my heart and soul that I shall not fail in my trust.
E. Assessment
The application serves as an assessment.
F. Assignment
Speech making and delivery are painstaking tasks. They require a great deal of
practice and motivation. In the film, The King’s Speech, therapist Lionel Logue helps
encourage the nervous king before he begins, saying, “Forget everything else and just
say it to me—say it to me, as a friend.”
Below is the link to the video of the final scene of the movie The King’s
Speech. Watch the video and do the task that follows.
173
If you were a speech therapist and you have to encourage an anxious speaker,
what advice will you give him/her? Using a minimum of 250 words, write a letter
addressed to your student stating your piece of advice that will help him/her feel more
confident about delivering a manuscript speech effectively.
Use the following format: computerized, font size 12, font style Times New
Roman.
Make sure that your letter has the following parts: date, salutation, body,
complimentary close, and signature. Research online for various letter formats you
may use.

2. After writing their inspiring line, ask students to fold the piece of paper and have
them drop their folded paper in the box, which the teacher will pass around.
3. Once all the sheets of paper have been collected, the teacher will pass around the
box again. This time, the teacher will ask students to pick a piece of paper. Make sure
they do not get their own paper.
4. Students are given five minutes to memorize the inspirational quote and plan for
appropriate facial expressions and gestures.
5. One by one, they will deliver the line in front of the class, without the copy and
with the appropriate nonverbal cues.
B. Analysis
178
C. Abstraction
Think of a song that you have memorized by heart. This song may
have created a great impact on you and inspired you to see life positively or
helped you get up after a failure. Choose a stanza, chorus, or refrain—
whatever is most important to you.
Deliver the lines in class as if they were part of a speech. Make sure to
vary the volume, rate, and pitch of your voice when delivering the excerpt.
Focus on appropriate facial expressions and gestures during the delivery.
1. You might forget what you are supposed to say. Long pauses can create a
very awkward moment between you and your audience.
2. You might memorize the speech mechanically. This can result in a very
unnatural delivery.
3. You might focus on content. Consequently, groping for the right words
might make you look uptight and stiff.
4. You might be too tied to remembering your script. This will give you no
chance to pay attention and respond to audience feedback.
1. You do not need notes anymore. Since the speech is memorized, you do not
have to worry about when to read and when to glance at your audience.
179
2. You can plan gestures, facial expressions, and movement. When you know
the speech by heart, it will be easier for you to work on nonverbal
communication.
3. You can concentrate on visual aids and props. A memorized speech will
help you focus more on your props if you have any.
4. You will feel more confident. If you know that you have committed the
speech to memory, you will not be anxious about running out of words or not
knowing what to say.
1. Break it down! You cannot memorize a speech in one sitting. If your speech
has four paragraphs, you should focus on one paragraph at a time. Once you
have memorized the first paragraph, focus on the next one.
2. Build it up! After memorizing the speech in snippets, you need to put them
together. Recite the first paragraph and move on to the second. After this,
recite the first and second paragraphs and move on to the third. The next thing
you know, you have completed your speech.
3. Speak out! Do not memorize the speech silently. When you recite your
speech over and over while memorizing it, your brain multitasks and aids your
memory retention.
4. Identify keys! Identify a key point in every paragraph. Even if you miss out
some of the words in the actual speech delivery, you can easily expound on
the key points.
5. Have a break! After memorizing some parts of your speech, take a break for
some hours or for a day. After this, recite the speech again. This will test how
well you can recall what you think you have memorized.
6. Record and listen! Record yourself delivering the speech and listen to it
over and over again. Like a song, the speech will get stuck in your head.
7. Use note cards! Write one key point on one note card. Bring these note
cards wherever you go and take them out whenever you have extra time to
memorize, especially during idle times of the day.
D. Application
Speeches for special occasions are a perfect fit for a memorized speech
because they are short and simple. Now, ask students to choose any of the
following occasions and write a five sentence speech that they will deliver in
class.
1. Introducing a person
2. Giving a toast during a wedding
180
3. Presenting an award
4. Accepting an award
5. Giving tribute to a person, place, or event
Before the speech delivery, ask students to find a partner who will
evaluate their speech and whom they will evaluate as well. Provide students
with a rubric as a basis for their evaluation. Then, tell students to remember
the following tips.
E. Assessment
F. Assignment
Below is a link to the video of the best man’s speech by Hugh Grant in
the movie Four Weddings and a Funeral. In an essay of 300 to 500 words,
write about what makes the speech effective. What techniques did the speaker
use which you were also able to apply in your memorized speech delivery?
Write about other techniques that you plan to emulate the next time you
deliver a memorized speech.
Follow the following format when writing your essay: computerized,
double-spaced, font size 12, font style Times New Roman.

A. Activity
1. The teacher will ask students to think of one thing that makes them happy. Then,
tell them to write it on a 1/4 sheet of paper.
2. Have students fold the paper and submit it to the teacher. Then, the teacher will
collect all the folded pieces of paper and place them in a box.
3. The teacher will call a volunteer to pick a piece of paper. He/she will then be given
one minute to say something about the word or phrase on that paper.
4. Everyone in class will be given the opportunity to speak in front.
B. Analysis
C. Abstraction
Impromptu speeches are delivered with little or no time for
preparation. In most instances, you are called to speak at the spur of the
moment because you are expected to be knowledgeable about the subject.
For example, your teacher assigned you to read an article before the
class starts. Then, during the class you were asked to deliver an impromptu
speech about what you have learned from the article. Another instance to
illustrate an impromptu situation is when you are asked by a friend or a
relative about your current or planned vacation trip or when you are
campaigning for a position in school and you are asked by your fellow
students to respond to their questions.
187
Below are some of the strategies that you can follow when you organize and
deliver an impromptu speech.
2. Point-Reason-Example/Explanation-Point Example:
Example:
Rule of Three
First, I feature them in my writings which I submit to editors for
publication. I highlight their sad and bad experiences living in the
streets and their dreams and aspirations in life.
Second, I actively participate in organizing and facilitating livelihood
programs for these families. •
Finally, I join different nonprofit organizations in campaigns and
awareness activities against poverty.
188
In some cases, you may find yourself unaware of or uninterested in the
topic. This usually happens and it is inevitable. Distinguished Toastmaster
Craig Harrison (2010) shares the following strategies that can help you
address the problem.
Topic: You are asked about your reaction on the conflict in Russia.
Problem: You have no knowledge about the existing conflict in Russia
because you do not follow it.
Solution: Find a way to bridge what you don’t know and what you do
know.
Response: “I would imagine the conflict in Russia to be like a conflict
in my own family. The following are some steps that I observed in
patching up the conflict, which, in a micro level, may be considered by
the Russian government…”
If you are given a topic that you do not like or is not right for you,
don’t despair. Simply reframe it as a topic you’d like to respond to.
Redefine the topic as you believe it should be, or at least the way you’d
like it to be. Keep the structure but alter the subject. Rephrase the
question or even challenge it; you can even argue why the question
given is not the right question at all.
Example:
Example:
189
Topic: You are asked whether or not the government should allocate a
bigger budget for national defense.
Problem: You have no idea about the defense system and you are
more knowledgeable with education.
Solution: Say no to defense and yes to education.
Response: “Instead of allocating more money to national defense, why
not allot it to education? Let me tell you why education should be
prioritized…”
1. Smile.
2. Relax by thinking about positive things. Keep telling yourself, “I am a
brilliant speaker. I will nail this presentation.”
3. Identify your purpose. Is it to inform, to entertain, to welcome, congratulate,
to apologize, or to give birthday greetings?
4. Think of one big word that can serve as your main point. If you think you
have enough, think of the rule of three.
5. Start outlining in your head. Focus on what to say first. Be reminded that
your first few words are crucial, so make them strong, powerful and
catchy.
1. When you are called, keep composed. Walk slowly to the lectern or the
center stage.
2. Shake hands with the one who introduced you, if necessary.
3. As you stand to deliver, establish eye contact, and begin right away with
your opening statements. Part of your opening is greeting your audience.
4. From your initial idea to the next, use appropriate transitional devices.
5. Observe appropriate and effective nonverbal cues.
6. Observe time limit. Remember, you barely have five minutes to say
something.
D. Application
190
others. Fold the paper. The teacher will provide a box where you have to drop your
folded piece of paper.
Your dean assigns you to represent your school in a summit. There, you meet
a local or international personality. You realized that you had the perfect opportunity
to talk to that person. What would you say?
Pick a name from the box and address the question above in front of your
classmates. Make sure you apply the strategies learned from this lesson. You have
two minutes to prepare and two minutes to speak. Your teacher will signal once you
have reached the time limit.

Preliminary activities:
-Prayer
-Checking of Attendance
A. Activity
Sample situation: You were walking alone on the street when a man suddenly put his
arms around you and demanded that you give him your valuables.
The teacher will ask the students to put these pieces of paper in a box. Let the
student pick a piece of paper, read the problem and outline their ideas. Then, let them
discuss in two-three minutes how the problem can be possibly handled or solved. The
teacher should make sure they do not get the problem they wrote.
B. Analysis
(The teacher will ask the students the following questions, consolidate them and lead
them to the lesson)
C. Abstraction
Most people who speak in public often prefer the extemporaneous method of
delivery. Although it might look more challenging than the manuscript or memorized
speeches, it is more spontaneous and personal.
196
1. Identify the type of extemporaneous question that you have to answer.
Is it a question of fact?
This type of question is typically answerable by “Yes” or “No.” It revolves
around whether something is true or not, existent or not.
Example: Is it better for the European nations to step in and aid Syria or ignore
the country’s civil crisis?
1. Reinforce! You may explore other main points, but always refer back to
your thesis. This will greatly help your audience remember your message.
2. Capture! State the central idea of your extemporaneous speech in one
declarative sentence. Keep your sentence specific. Ask yourself what you want
your audience to know exactly.
3. Develop! Now that you have a clear central idea, you are ready to map out
the supporting points in an outline.
4. Introduce! In the introduction, make sure you:
o grab the attention of the audience with a striking one-liner.
o give a short background by explaining why they have to listen.
o state your thesis.
5. Check! Develop at least three main points and check each of them with
these questions:
o Does each point have one single idea?
o Does each point reiterate the thesis statement?
o Does each point prepare the discussion of the next main point?
6. Supply! Make sure that each main point has enough examples, testimonies,
statistics, or cases. In doing this, you give the audience new information or
views to learn from.

The teacher ask students to work in groups of five. Then, tell them to read the
following scenario.
A ship is sinking and only one lifeboat is available. There are seven (7)
passengers left, but the lifeboat can only accommodate six (6). You have to decide
who among the following passengers you will save:
1. a ten-month-old baby
2. a sixty-five-year-old woman (the sole relative of the baby)
3. a pregnant woman suspected to be a prostitute
4. a twelve-year-old boy with a 140+ IQ
5. an athlete who advocates for LGBT rights
6. a doctor who may find a cure for lung cancer but is a drug addict
7. the captain of the ship
Tell students to justify their decision. Ask each group to choose one
representative who will share their decision and the justification with the rest of the
class.

speaker delivers his speech in front of the crowd.
Ryan Avery of USA, 2012 Champion
Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReE7-X70iPU
B. Analysis
Ask the students the following:
204
1. What is the video all about?
2. What are your observations on the delivery of the speaker?
3. How did the speaker manage or approach his audience? Is his approach
effective and appropriate? Why?
C. Abstraction
Discuss the following:
Types of Audience
One of the first questions that has to be answered is just how many different size
audiences are there out there? Cliff Suttle has taken a look at this and he believes
that there are four different common audience sizes:
The reason that the size of your audience matters is because you need to tune
your speech to meet the needs of that size audience. Just as a clown at a birthday
party does different things to entertain its audience from what a comedian at a
nightclub does, so to does a public speaker need to make changes to suit the size
of his/her audience.
Once you know how large of an audience you’ll be talking to, you can adjust your
speech to best match the needs of that audience. You’ll have to take a different
approach for each type of audience:
Conversation Size: the key to satisfying this type of audience is to NOT deliver
a formal speech. Instead what you want do is to have an intimate conversation
with them. You’ll need to be able to be flexible in order to adjust your speech
to meet the changing moods of your audience.
Speech Size: the audience size is still small enough that you are going to be
able to use a conversational tone, but you are going to have prepare and deliver
a formal speech. Eye contact becomes very important and you need to make
hand gestures in order to include everyone in you speech.
205
Performance Size: for this type of speech, taking the time to memorize your
speech can be a big help because it will free you up to focus on HOW you say
it. You are going to have to speed up the eye contact and not spend too much
time looking at any one person. If you make your audience laugh, be sure to
give the entire audience time to laugh before you start speaking again.
Show Size: One of the most important points about speaking to a large
audience has nothing to do with your words – it’s all about self-confidence.
Being confidant and taking and owning the stage are critical parts of winning a
large audience over to your side. There will no longer be an opportunity to
make eye contact with individuals in the audience, instead you’ll have to look
at sections of the audience in such a way that they all feel as though you are
looking at them individually. Your use of vocal variety becomes critical to
keeping your audience engaged in your speech.
The teacher will also emphasize that too often when we are asked to give a
speech we will spend all of our time thinking about the speech and not spend
any time thinking about the audience. All audiences are not created the same.
We need to tailor our speeches to meet the needs of the size audience that we
are addressing.
When preparing a speech always plan for the big show. Then spend some extra
time scaling it down to match your audience. This way you’ll have a backup
plan if more people happen to show up.
Learn to do this well and you’ll be able to intimately connect with your
audience and make an lasting impact in their lives.

your-speech-to-match-your-audience
D. Application
The class will be divided into 4 groups. Each group will show a short play of the
different type of audience. They will assign a speaker, who will apply all the
appropriate approaches to the type of audience they will picked, others will play as
an audience. The following type of audience are:
After the presentation, one representative for each group will be asked to give
feedback on the presentation using the following guide question
a. What are your observation on the delivery of the speaker based on the size
of his/her audience? Is he effective?
b. Can you cite the appropriate approaches of the speaker considering the size
of his/her audience?
E. Assessment
206
Individual Activity: Box of small & big surprises
The teacher will prepare a big box and will request each of the students to put in
one object found inside their bag either small or big objects. The teacher will
label the objects A & B. Once it’s their turn to speak, they will pick one item
from the box without looking. If they picked the object with the label of A they
will imagine that they are going to speak in a small size audience and if they pick
the object with the label of B, they will imagine themselves speaking in front of a
large crowd. They are free to select what type of speech they will use. They will
be given two minutes to speak and the teacher will signal once the students have
reached the time limit. Students will be graded based on the rubric below.
F. Assignment
As a group, watch any of the videos, refer to the link below and complete the

Review
The teacher will ask one representative to give a recap of the previous discussion on
(speaking to a specific audience size)
The following question will also be raised to the learners
210
1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a small/ large audience
size?
2. What are the type of Audience size?
A. Activity
Have the students watch a video of "Its Ok to be Gay" | Jesse Morrell Open Air
Preaching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpik6iVB3RU
B. Analysis
After the video presentation, ask the following:
1. What is the video all about?
2. What are your observations on the delivery of the speaker?
3. Are there problems encountered by the speaker during his speech delivery?
4. How did he manage the obstacle encountered?
C. Abstraction
The teacher will facilitate in the discussion on the speaking situation focusing on:
Speaking in an open-air venue or outside a building
211
2. Gather people as close as you can.
Outdoor events tend to be fairly relaxed (that’s why you are
outdoors) and people are spread out much more than they would be at a
comparable event indoors. By gathering people closer, you improve sight
lines, make it easier for everyone to hear you, and increase audience
connection. It is well worth your effort to ask people to move in closer.
(Not everyone will, but some will, and that’s an improvement.)
3. Move up higher.
If there’s a podium to speak from, great. But there usually isn’t. To
help everyone see you (and your gestures) better, figure out some way to
get higher. Sometimes the landscape will provide for you (e.g. a raised
mound; a big rock). Other times, you have to get more creative (e.g. a
chair; a milk crate; a picnic table; a tree stump). But please, be careful of
your footing.
4. Speak loudly.
If you have a timid voice, you are going to have a very difficult time
in this environment. Speaking loud is often necessary for you to to be
heard at all, and will help you to keep your audience’s attention when
distracting sounds invade.
5. Arrange for audio help, if possible.
Megaphones and microphones can be tricky to use, but if they are
available, I encourage you to use them. If your audience has to strain too
hard to hear you, they may give up and watch the clouds instead.
6. Use broad gestures.
There are so many moving distractions outside that you’ll often need
to be particularly expressive to compete with them.
7. Position yourself so the sun is not in your audience’s eyes.
Looking into the sun is too much to ask for most audiences. Position
yourself so the sun is off to the side or, if necessary, in your eyes. Hope for
clouds (but not rain).
8. Keep your remarks brief.
You have a captive audience in a lecture theater, but outdoors, most
people want to get back to relaxing, talking, or joining the burger line-up.
If you respect this, your audience will thank you.

Speaking in different venues
218
Advantages You will be exposed to different venues, which will add
to your public speaking experience
Disadvantages You will have to make big adjustments in terms of your
nonverbal cues: volume of voice, body language, facial
expression, etc.
Tips Check the venue days before your scheduled speech and
arrive hours earlier in the venue, so you can determine
the adjustments to make.
-For a large venue, speak more slowly, use pauses
frequently to highlight the most important ideas of your
speech, and make use of facial expressions and gestures.
When you use visual aids, make them more visible.
-In a small venue, your audience will see you up close.
Therefore, manage your notes well when you use them
and adjust your nonverbal cues as necessary.
-Practice, practice, practice.
3. Venue Outdoors
219
- Be as close as possible to audience
- Have wind behind you - don't speak into it or voice will be carried away
- Keep facing the audience directly
- Slow rate of speech so each word is defined
- Overdo consonant sounds to help with clarity
- Extending vowel sounds aids audibility
- Use gesture to reinforce message
- Shelter microphone from wind
D. Application
Each one will prepare three basic questions relevant to various social issues and
fields of study, such as global awareness, civic literacy, political system, health,
education, governance, business, sciences, technology and communications,
engineering, law, and gender. Each question will be written clearly on a one-
fourth sheet of paper, which will be submitted to your teacher. Once given, your
teacher will put these sheets in a fish bowl or box and shuffle them.
Once your name is called, go to the front of the class, pick a question and answer
it to the front.
The teacher will also assigned a specific venue where the speech is held.
E. Assessment
The activity in the application will served as an assessment.

Review
The teacher will ask a volunteer to give a short recap of the previous discussion
which is on speaking in different venues.
Some questions will be raised to facilitate the review
1. How will you manage the different kinds of venue when you have speaking
engagement?
A. Activity
The learners will be asked to watch a video clip and let them observe how the
speaker deliver his speech using a microphone “The Valedictorian Speech that
will change your life
Source:“https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCN6FjqDcHg
B. Analysis
5. What is the video all about?
6. What are your observations on the delivery using a microphone? Did the
microphone help the speaker to communicate his message?
7. How did the speaker use the microphone in his speech? Did he use it
appropriately?
C. Abstraction
Discuss the following:
Description, advantages, disadvantage, tips of speaking with a microphone
223
Tips Check the microphone if it functions well.
-Check your voice in the microphone to see whether
you are audible enough.
-In a small venue, you may not use a microphone, but
you need to manage your voice’s volume well.
-Practice, practice, practice.
This is the key and basically subsumes all of the points below. You have to
listen to your own voice coming through the speakers. Can’t hear it? Neither can
your audience. Is it fading in and out? Same for your audience. This isn’t magic,
it’s just a matter of some basic self-awareness.
If you’re unsure if others can hear you, ask! “Can you hear me?” Watch not just
for the people close to the podium, but the ones in the back. Are they giving you
the thumbs-up or are they looking confused?
It has to be close enough to your mouth to pick up your voice, but not too
close. For a lapel mike, that means it needs to be high enough on your clothes,
and of course not covered by anything. A handheld mike needs to not just be
close to your mouth when you start speaking, but it needs to remain there.
Gesturing, slowly lowering your hand as you speak, or pointing it in some
random direction will all make the audience’s experience miserable.
3. Your position.
You need to stay close to the microphone. If you keep walking around or
turning your head away from a fixed microphone, people still won’t be able to
hear you. Even with a lapel mike, you need to figure out if it will pick up your
voice when you turn your head, and not just blindly trust that it will always be
able to hear you. Same as before, you need to keep listening to your voice as you
move around or turn your head.
You’re tall? You’re short? The previous speaker was much taller/shorter than
you? Doesn’t matter, the microphone can be adjusted! Set it up for yourself. It
needs to point at your moth and be as close as possible. Saying something to the
effect of “I’m tall/short, so the mike doesn’t work” won’t help your audience. If
there’s a problem, fix it.
5. Popping noises.
224
These are incredibly distracting and will work against you. It’s like spitting on
your audience. Don’t do it. Listen to your voice and if you notice popping, adjust
your microphone. Popping is caused by the little puffs of air you produce when
you speak hitting the microphone. Just moving the microphone down a bit (or off
to the side, but only a bit!) usually takes care of it.
6. Speak up!
Microphones and speakers amplify your voice, but that doesn’t mean you can
mumble and whisper. I see so many talks that are barely audible because the
speaker seems to think that the microphone can do magic. It can’t. It needs
sufficient input from you to work well.
What’s the point of giving a talk if people can’t hear you? If they’re straining to
hear you at all, or if you’re annoying them with loud popping noises, they’re not
going to listen to what you actually have to say. It doesn’t take much, just a few
simple things to keep in mind (and observe in others!) will make a huge
difference.

program. Assign one representative who will share the output of the group for two
minutes. Write your output on the Manila paper provided for your group.
B. Analysis
(After the presentation, the teacher will ask the students the following
questions to lead them to the discussion)
1. How did you plan for the program?
2. What difficulties did you encounter while planning?
C. Abstraction
The teacher will use a power point presentation in the discussion.
Writing an effective speech, just like events planning follows certain steps or
processes. The process for writing is not chronological or linear; rather, it is recursive.
That means you have the opportunity to repeat a writing procedure indefinitely, or
produce multiple drafts first before you can settle on the right one.
Look at the diagram of the speech writing process.
231
For this period, let please focus your attention to the topmost part of the
diagram- CONDUCTING AN AUDIENCE ANALYSIS.
Doing an audience analysis first is absolutely essential to making a great
speech. Without analyzing your audience prior to writing your speech, you are in
danger of “bombing” (or at least not doing very well), upsetting a lot of people, and
then feeling the compulsive need to move to a remote island.
232
they may not understand. Most importantly, be careful that you don’t include
something (like jokes) that could possibly offend an audience from a different
culture.
What is their age and gender?
- Age and gender are very important in your audience analysis because both of
these categories greatly influence the audience’s life experience. For instance,
a group of female high school students may not understand the experiences
and struggles of soldiers who are war front liners.
To wrap it all, the goal of an audience analysis is to endear you to your audience.
Sure, you are there to provide information. But it is the WAY that you provide that
233
information that is nearly as important as the information itself. Having the audience
relate to you and genuinely enjoy hearing you speak is critical. It can mean the difference
between a great speech that pleasantly lingers in the minds of the audience – and a speech
that has people checking their watches, texting their friends, or fighting the need to nod
off as they desperately pray that you wrap it up soon.
D. Application
For you to head start your speech, analyze the audience of your speech using the
template that I am about to distribute.
Age Range
Male-Female Ratio
Educational Background
Educational Institution
Place of Residence
Marital Status
Economic Status
Language Spoken
Religious Affiliation, Beliefs
Date and Location
E. Assessment
The activity in the Application will serve as the assessment for the period.
Ten points is the highest score for the activity if all the needed information are
properly filled out.
F. Assignment
Look for a possible topic for your speech. Prepare for an activity tomorrow.

IV. Procedure
Preliminary activities:
A. Activity
As a sort of review, the teacher will ask a volunteer to answer the question.
Whoever answered the question will receive a chocolate as a reward.
How important is analyzing the audience in writing a speech?
Activity
The teacher will post the phrase “TOP 3 MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES” on
the board.
In five minutes, students will be write down their top 3 memorable
experiences on a sheet of paper. Afterwards, the students will directed to find a
partner to share his/her experiences. This activity will set the mood of the class in
preparation of the activity.
B. Analysis
(The teacher will ask the students the following questions to lead them to the
discussion)
1. How did you find the activity?
2. Did you find any difficulty in doing the activity?
3. What makes the activity easy/hard?
C. Abstraction
Knowing how to carefully select your topic is an important step in preparing
for a successful speech.
236
The activity you had last meeting will help you in finding a good topic for
your speech. Remember to ANALYZE FIRST YOUR AUDIENCE.
You may start by thinking about your venue. Where will you be giving your
speech? To whom will you be speaking? Etc.
Then, start to think about what you know about the topic. It’s helpful to speak
about a topic with which you are already familiar, but sometimes you may be called
into situations where you have no prior knowledge about a given subject.
Word Association
Start with a broad topic idea. What words, topics, or other subjects do you
associate with that first topic? Now what words, topics, or other subjects do you
associate with the following word? Continue this chain of word association to give
you a broad spectrum of ideas.
Clustering
Also known as mind-mapping, clustering gives your word association a visual
form. Start with your main idea and draw a circle around it, thinking of it like the hub
of a wheel. Now, begin to write other associated ideas, topics, or subcategories related
to that main topic around the hub, and connect them as separate spokes. From each
spoke, begin to jot down other associated ideas and thoughts. As your cluster begins
to grow, you might want to connect smaller spokes to one another and create new
links between subjects.
Freewriting
This is probably the simplest brainstorm method of all. Set a timer and begin
writing whatever thoughts or ideas come to mind about your particular subject. You
might find it easier to type your freewriting instead of writing it by hand, so you can
keep up with your thoughts faster. Whatever you do, don’t stop writing.
Another way of freewriting is to record yourself talking for a set period of
time and then transcribing your key points to go back to and clarify later. Once your
time is up, go back and highlight or circle relevant points or topics that stick out for
you. You’ll refine these later.
Once you have already chosen a topic of speech, the next thing you do is to
narrow it down. Narrowing down a topic means making your main idea more specific
and focused. The strategies in selecting a topic can also be used when you narrow
down a topic.
In the example below, “Defining and developing effective money management
skills of Grade 11 students” is the specific topic out of a general one, which is
“Effective money management.”
237
Specific purpose To inform Grade 11 students on the importance of effective
money management
Topic Financial literacy or effective money management
Narrowing down Effective money management
a topic through Effective money management of Grade 11 students
listing Developing an effective money management of Grade 11
students
Defining and developing effective money management skills of
Grade 11 students
D. Application
In a given time frame, students will brainstorm on the topic of their speech
using any of the brainstorming strategies (Word Association, Clustering, and
Freewriting). The goal of this activity is for the students to come up with a fixed topic
ready for speech writing.
E. Assessment
Narrow down your topic by using the table below using ½ crosswise.

Pattern Problem-solution
Share facts on the current situation of the environment.
Introduction
State the message of the speech (specific topic).
Discuss how improper waste disposal becomes an
environmental problem.
Body
Explain how reducing, reusing, and recycling would
eliminate wastes and protect the environment.
State the specific purpose of your speech again.
Conclusion
Call for action.
2. List format
The body of the speech provides explanations, examples, or any details that
can help you deliver your purpose and explain the main idea of your speech.
One major consideration in developing the body of your speech is the focus or
central idea. The body of your speech should only have one central idea.
241
The following are some strategies to highlight your main idea.
Present real-life or practical examples
Show statistics
Present comparisons
Share ideas from the experts or practitioners
The introduction is the foundation of your speech. Here, your primary goal is
to get the attention of your audience and present the subject or main idea of your
speech. Your first few words should do so. The following are some strategies.
Use a real-life experience and connect that experience to your subject.
Use practical examples and explain their connection to your subject.
Start with a familiar or strong quote and then explain what it means.
Use facts or statistics and highlight their importance to your subject.
Tell a personal story to illustrate your point.
The conclusion restates the main idea of your speech. Furthermore, it provides
a summary, emphasizes the message, and calls for action. While the primary goal of
the introduction is to get the attention of your audience, the conclusion aims to leave
the audience with a memorable statement.
Students will prepare an outline of their speech using any of the formats
discussed. The teacher will distribute the sheet below (see Appendix 2) for the

Preliminary activities:
A. Activity

A woman, without her man, is nothing.
A woman: without her, man is nothing
B. Analysis
(The teacher will ask the students the following questions to lead them to the
discussion)
4. How did you find the activity?
249
5. How important is punctuation in writing the speech?
6. What are other aspects that we need to consider in speech writing aside
form punctuation?
C. Abstraction
The teacher will give a short review on the elements of good writing:
grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization and word choice.
Grammar
Grammar explains the forms and structure of words (called morphology) and
how they are arranged in sentences (called syntax). In other words, grammar provides
the rules for common use of both spoken and written language so we can more easily
understand each other.
Grammar is important because it provides information that helps the reader’s
comprehension. It is the structure that conveys precise meaning from the writer to the
audience. Eliminate grammatical errors from your writing, and reward your readers
with clear communication
The building blocks of grammar are the eight parts of speech:
Every complete sentence has two parts: a subject (who or what the sentence is
about) and a predicate (what the subject is doing). The subject is a noun or a pronoun;
the predicate is a verb. To identify the subject of a sentence, find the verb and ask
who or what. The answer is the subject.
Clauses are the basic building blocks of sentences. When a sentence is formed
by a single clause, it is known as a simple sentence. Simple sentences are the most
common type for spoken language, but can make writing seem childish. Simple
sentences can be made more interesting and informative by adding modifiers and can
be effective for attracting the reader’s attention when used sparingly.
Two or more clauses that are joined by a conjunction such as and, but, and, or
form a compound sentence. Compound sentences create balance or contrast between
thoughts, ideas, or information of equal importance:
Simple sentences: Molly and Emily live near each other. They are best friends.
Compound sentence: Molly and Emily live near each other, and they are best
friends.
250
A complex sentence contains an independent clause and one or more
dependent clauses that are not equal. A complex sentence is different from a simple
sentence or compound sentence because it develops a central idea, provides
background information, and clearly identifies the most important thought.
Complex sentence: Even if Molly and Emily did not live near each other, they
would still be best friends due to their many common interests.
Spelling
Punctuation
Punctuation helps convey the precise meaning of a sentence – and in fact can
even change the meaning, as in this well-known example:
.
Here is a brief description of how punctuation is used:
A comma tells the reader to pause and assimilate information. They are also used
to separate the items in a series.
A semi-colon links independent clauses that are closely related in meaning when
they are not linked by a conjunction.
A colon introduces a list or a summation. It can also be used to link an idea that
has been introduced in an independent clause.
End punctuation – period, question mark, and exclamation mark – denotes the
end of a sentence.
Parentheses enclose words that are not directly related to the main thought of the
sentence but provide important information, or to provide examples.
A dash signals a sudden change of thought or break in a sentence. Dashes can also
be used in place of parentheses to emphasize information.
Quotation marks indicate direct speech. All punctuation marks are enclosed
within the quotation marks except for semi-colons, colons, and question marks
when they are not part of the quotation.
An apostrophe indicates that letters are missing from a contraction, or shows
possession (i.e., that one thing belongs to another). The word (its) spelled without
an apostrophe is a possessive; spelled with an apostrophe (it’s) is a contraction of
it is. Similarly, whose is a possessive pronoun, and who’s is a contraction of who
is. Do not use an apostrophe to form the plural of numbers or letters (the 1990s, a
box of PCs).
251
Capitalization
Like punctuation, capitalization helps convey information. The first word of
every sentence is capitalized, signaling that a new sentence has begun. Proper nouns –
the name of a particular person, place, or thing – are capitalized to indicate
uniqueness. However, it is not correct to use capitalization merely to make a word
look or seem important.
D. Application
The teacher will give different exercises in the correct use of spelling,
grammar, punctuation and capitalization.
EXERCISE 1: In each of the groups of words below, one word may be misspelled or
no words may be misspelled. If a word is misspelled, write it correctly
to the right of each group. If none of the words in the group is
misspelled, write "none."
EXERCISE 2: The following passage has not been edited. There is an error in each
line. Write the incorrect word and the correction in your answer sheet.
The first has been done as an example.
EXERCISE 3. Encircle the sentence that uses commas, colons, and semi-colons
correctly.
EXERCISE 4. If an underlined word contains an error, write the word in the blank to
the left in its corrected form.

they are warm blooded. They are the only mammals that know how to fly. Bats are nocturnal
which means they sleep during the day and are awake at night.
2. Bees are interesting animals. The honey bee can fly at a speed of 15 miles per hour. A hive
of honey bees has about 40,000 bees in it. The honey bee has five eyes. A worker bee will
make 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey over its lifetime. Bees have been making honey for about

Review:
Teacher will ask the following questions:
What are the principles of speech writing?
How are these principles different from each other?
A. Activity
Divide the students into six groups and have them pick a tongue twister from
a box. Each group selects a student to write on the board the tongue twister read
aloud by the rest of the group members. They should not be allowed to dictate how
the words are spelled, thus, they have to articulate the words properly and understand
259
how they are used in the sentence. The following tongue twisters will be written in a
strip of paper:
1. How many hair styles could Harry Styles style if Harry Styles could style
hair
styles.
2. How can a clam cram in a clean cream can?
3. Which witch wished which wicked wish?
4. The butter Betty Botter bought could make her batter bitter.
5. Luke Luck likes lakes.
6. Through three cheese trees three free fleas flew.
B. Analysis
C. Abstraction
Articulation
We as humans are unique in our use of tongue, lips, and other movable parts
of the speech mechanism. The first act of speech is breathing, in which you get air
into a storage chamber; second is phonation, the process by which you force air into
vibration by the action of the vocal folds; third, resonation, in which your mouth, nose
and throat cavities amplify the sound so you can hear it; and finally there is
articulation, in which you modify the sound by movement of the teeth, tongue, and
lips into recognizable patterns. There are only forty-four sounds to master, and as
young child you started making them by mastering simple sounds which you later
articulated into repetitive sound combinations and then words.
Emphasize that not everyone is naturally gifted with articulation skill but with
constant practice coupled with patience and determination, this can be learned
eventually.

words which they think are difficult or confusing to pronounce. Give examples like
bear/beer, greet/great/grate or other commonly mispronounced words such as country,
bag, chocolate, cleanliness, etc. The groups swap lists and have them figure out how
the words are articulated properly. Encourage them to use their dictionary and refer to
the IPA symbols as they study how the words are transcribed. Have them recite the
words on the list.
E. Assessment
With the same group, have students practice reading the poem below aloud.
Tell them to encircle the words they find difficult to articulate and look for the
pronunciation of these words in the dictionary.

Let’s face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor
ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren’t
invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while
sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we
explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are
square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write
but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of
tooth is teeth, why isn’t the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one
moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make
amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one
of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught? If a

praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? In what
language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo

chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to
marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns
down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm goes off by
going on. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the
creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn’t a race at all). That is why,
when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are
invisible. And finally, why doesn't "buick" rhyme with "quick"?”

Review:
Have students read the list of words in their worksheet (given as assignment).
Clarify how words should be pronounced if students are not sure how they are read
properly. Ask random students to share their insights on how important good articulation
is.
A. Activity
Students will be grouped into five with 7-8 members. They will be playing a
game called “Chinese Whispers” (commonly known as message relay or pass the
message) so all teams must have the same number of students. The teacher provides
each group with a strip of paper with a message written on it. Each team forms a line
and the first on the line has to pass the message to the next person through a whisper
until the message reaches the last person. The last person in the line has to write the
message on the board. The word or phrase can only be whispered once so players
must pay close attention. The team that writes the correct message first gets a point.
The team has the option to replace the first person on the line with another player. The
following phrases will be written in strips of paper: (Other words or phrases may be
used for this activity)

Voice Modulation
Voice modulation is one of the most powerful weapons that you can have in
your arsenal while delivering a speech. Not only does it reflect confidence but it also
helps in convincing your audience about your beliefs or ideas. This is the power that
voice modulation commands over people. Therefore, to become a good public
speaker, one must learn the art of voice modulation.
People in power like politicians and notable public speakers have been known
to make use of voice modulation and even have dedicated speech coaches just to
guide them. With the right practice you can also master the art of voice modulation.
Here are few tips:
The Pitch: While delivering a speech, the pitch of your voice plays an
important part. Try to lower your voice slightly because due to microphones
shrill voices can cause a bit of annoyance.
Speak Slowly: Another thing to be kept in mind is to speak slowly while
delivering a speech! Speaking slowly helps get your point across to your
audience. So remember to speak slowly and clearly.
Stress on certain Words: To add a bit of impact in your speech, it’s advised to
stress on certain powerful words. You can even vary the intensity of your
voice to add a powerful impact to your speech and grab the attention of your
audience.
The use of effective voice modulation can mean the difference between a
crowd pleasing speech and a boring speech! But, truth be told, modulation isn’t easy.
You need to practice, practice and practice even more, only then is it possible to truly
master this art. Focus on how you speak to people, the shift in your pitch, then tone of
your voice.
Another thing that you can do is to look at speeches of politicians, famous
orators, celebrities etc. and see how they speak, how they change their tone, how they
modulate their pitch etc. With sufficient practice you will be able to master the art of
voice modulation and will be able to deliver a speech like a pro!

the muscles of the larynx than any other muscles in your body, with the exception of
your eyes. In addition, you use three quarters of your body when you speak a word,
and even a stubbed toe can affect the sound of your voice. So it’s not surprising that
your voice can be adversely affected by excitement and stress.
Just as with the rest of your body, some people naturally have more vocal
strength, while others need to pump up theirs just to keep up with their daily vocal
requirements. I cannot know the exact cause of the reader’s quivers without speaking
with them, but it is likely that the cause of their quivering voice is either nerves, or
lack of vocal strength, or both. Regardless of the case, voice training using proper
vocal exercises can make a world of difference in both control and endurance in the
voice.
D. Application
Students will follow these steps for a strength training workout for the voice:
1. Breathe deeply and exhale on a hisssssssing sound. Repeat 10 times.
Proper breathing is the foundation for a healthy voice AND control
over nervous energy that can make the voice quiver.
2. Say “Mm-mmm (as in yummy) Mmm-hmm (like yes) ” Repeat 5 times.
This develops mask resonance, which creates a clean and vibrant
sound by creating a clean approximation of the cords and a
resonance that will sound great and project easily.
3. Say “Mm-mmm. Mmm-hmm.” up and down your vocal range, from low to
middle to high and back again, 10 times.
4. Raise your volume a bit and say “Mmmmmmmmy name is…” Repeat this
ten times up and down your vocal range.
This enhances vocal flexibility and coordination.
5. Say “Ney, ney, ney, ney, ney” loudly but without yelling 10 times up and
down your vocal range.
This is more mask resonance training.
6. Starting at mid range, make a siren sound with Oooo and Eeeee by sliding
down your vocal range several times, starting higher each time.
Again, the focus here is on more flexibility and coordination.
7. Say “Mmmmmmm” until you feel a buzzy sensation in the front of your
face. Repeat 5 times.
Mask resonance again.
8. Now, for isolation of muscles for articulation, try some tongue twisters like
those below. To get the full workout, say them each several times but only
as fast as you can go and keep them clear. You can increase your speed
over time:
The blue bluebird blinks.
Three free throws.
What time does the wristwatch strap shop shut?
Strange strategic statistics.
Freshly fried flying fish, freshly fried flesh.

E. Assessment

articulation and voice modulation in delivering a speech.
A. Activity
Have students participate in the “Cabbage Roll” game. The teacher needs to
prepare pieces of paper formed like a cabbage. In each piece of paper, a speaking
challenge is written. Music will be played as the students pass the cabbage roll
around. The student who is holding the cabbage roll when the music stops will
peel off the cabbage and perform the challenge written on it before the class.
Encourage students to perform the challenge as instructed. These are the suggested
speaking challenges:
Recite your favourite quotation like a politician trying to convince
his/her audience to do what he/she wishes.
Recite the saddest line/lines you have memorized from a movie. If you
can’t memorize any then deliver these lines from the movie Tangled:
RAPUNZEL: “I can’t believe I did this. … I can’t believe I did this. I
can’t believe I did this!!! Mother would be so furious. That’s OK
though, I mean what she doesn’t know won’t kill her. Right? Oh my
gosh. This would kill her. This is so fun! I am a horrible daughter. I’m
going back. I am never going back again! I am a despicable human
270
being. Woo-hoo! Best. Day. Ever!”
If you can talk to your future or past self, what would you tell him/her?
(at least 5 lines)
Recite the chorus of your favourite love song as if you are addressing
your special someone.
Talk about yourself for a minute.

C. Abstraction
Just as important is the realization that you can’t hide when you speak in
public. Audiences will always understand who you are—unless you spend all your
271
energy hiding your true nature, and what kind of presentation is that? Don’t forget:
audiences truly want to know you and to connect with you. So make that your be-all
and end-all, rather than trying to be excellent.
As you move through your speech, each new main point you raise creates a
moment of renewed interest for your audience. You should therefore become aware of
how your talk unfolds in these terms, making each new main point look and sound
different for listeners.
Keep this critical point in mind: Your voice is your most powerful instrument
for creating in listeners the emotions you're feeling. If audiences didn’t need to hear
the sound of truth or the power of an idea, why would you be speaking at all?
Remember: verbal is not vocal. Your words are one thing; the way you say them is
something entirely different. Think Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream
Speech" and you'll understand this immediately.
272
When you think about nonverbal communication and public speaking, do you
consider only posture, stance, and hand gestures? If you do, you're ignoring your need
to use space productively and to command the stage when you speak.
Remember this one simple idea: begin to think in terms of your performance
space itself as an element of stage presence. Just as your venue (its shape, acoustics,
degree of accessibility between speaker and audience, etc.) has a hand to play in your
public speaking effectiveness, so too does the stage you’re standing on.
D. Application

with five people or more and have them perform it after a 10-minute preparation.
Encourage them to apply the different elements of stage presence in delivering a speech.

Ask the students the following after the game:
What have you noticed about the words used in the activity?
275
How are the emotions conveyed by the group representatives?
Was the facial expression displayed by the representatives match the emotion?
Why?
What about the gestures?
Why are we able to associate an emotion to a specific facial expression or gesture
or body movement?
How do our facial expression, gestures and body movement help get our message
across?
C. Abstraction
Many speakers are more nervous about physical delivery than vocal delivery.
Putting our bodies on the line in front of an audience often makes us feel more
vulnerable than putting our voice out there. Yet most audiences are not as fixated on
our physical delivery as we think they are. Knowing this can help relieve some
anxiety, but it doesn’t give us a free pass when it comes to physical delivery. We
should still practice for physical delivery that enhances our verbal message. Physical
delivery of a speech involves nonverbal communication through the face and eyes,
gestures, and body movements.
Facial Expressions
Facial expressions can help bring a speech to life when used by a speaker to
communicate emotions and demonstrate enthusiasm for the speech.Facial
expressions are key for conveying emotions and enthusiasm in a speech.
Facial expressions help set the emotional tone for a speech, and it is important
that your facial expressions stay consistent with your message.
In order to set a positive tone before you start speaking, briefly look at the
audience and smile. A smile is a simple but powerful facial expression that can
communicate friendliness, openness, and confidence.
Facial expressions communicate a range of emotions and are also associated
with various moods or personality traits. Even if you aren’t bored, for
example, a slack face with little animation may lead an audience to think that
you are bored with your own speech, which isn’t likely to motivate them to be
interested.
When delivering something light hearted or humorous, a smile, bright eyes,
and slightly raised eyebrows will nonverbally enhance your verbal message.
When delivering something serious or somber, a furrowed brow, a tighter
mouth, and even a slight head nod can enhance that message. If your facial
expressions and speech content are not consistent, your audience could
276
become confused by the conflicting messages, which could lead them to
question your honesty and credibility.
Eye Contact
Once in front of the audience, establish eye contact before you speak.
Make slow and deliberate eye contact, sweeping through the whole audience
from left to right.
Do not look over the audience’s heads, at the back wall, or the clock. Unless
you are in a huge auditorium, it will just look to the audience like you are
looking over their heads.
Do not just make eye contact with one or a few people that you know or that
look friendly. Even if it’s comforting for you as the speaker, it is usually
awkward for the audience member.
Try to memorize your opening and closing lines so you can make full eye
contact with the audience. This will strengthen the opening and closing of
your speech and help you make a connection with the audience.
Posture
Posture is the position we assume with our bodies, either intentionally or out
of habit. Although people, especially young women, used to be trained in posture,
often by having them walk around with books stacked on their heads, you should use
a posture that is appropriate for the occasion while still positioning yourself in a way
that feels natural. In a formal speaking situation, it’s important to have an erect
posture that communicates professionalism and credibility. However, a military
277
posture of standing at attention may feel and look unnatural in a typical school or
business speech. In informal settings, it may be appropriate to lean on a table or
lectern, or even sit among your audience members. Head position is also part of
posture. In most speaking situations, it is best to keep your head up, facing your
audience. A droopy head doesn’t communicate confidence. Consider the occasion
important, as an inappropriate posture can hurt your credibility.
Government and military leaders use an erect posture to communicate
confidence and professionalism during public appearances.
Gestures
Gestures include arm and hand movements. We all use hand gestures while we
speak, but we didn’t ever take a class in matching verbal communication with the
appropriate gestures; we just internalized these norms over time based on observation
and put them into practice.
Movement
Sometimes movement of the whole body, instead of just gesturing with hands,
is appropriate in a speech. For beginning speakers, hold off trying to incorporate body
movement from the waist down until they’ve gotten at least one speech done. This
allows you to concentrate on managing anxiety and focus on more important aspects
of delivery like vocal variety, avoiding fluency hiccups and verbal fillers, and
improving eye contact.
Floating refers to speakers who wander aimlessly around, and pacing refers to
speakers who walk back and forth in the same path. To prevent floating or pacing,
make sure that your movements are purposeful. To make your movements appear
more natural, time them to coincide with a key point you want to emphasize or a
transition between key points. Minimize other movements from the waist down when
you are not purposefully moving for emphasis. Speakers sometimes tap or shuffle
their feet, rock, or shift their weight back and forth from one leg to the other. Keeping
both feet flat on the floor, and still, will help avoid these distracting movements.
278
subtract from your credibility, nonverbal communication that accompanies your
verbal messages affects your credibility.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Facial expressions help communicate emotions and enthusiasm while
speaking. Make sure that facial expressions are consistent with the content
being presented. Record yourself practicing your speech in order to evaluate
your use of facial expressions.
Eye contact helps establish credibility and keep your audience’s attention
while you’re speaking.
Posture should be comfortable and appropriate for the speaking occasion.
Emphatic and descriptive gestures enhance the verbal content of our speech.
Gestures should appear spontaneous but be purposeful.
Movements from the waist down should be purposefully used to emphasize a
point or as a transition during a speech.
Audience members will make assumptions about your competence and
credibility based on dress and personal appearance. Make sure your outer
presentation of self is appropriate for the occasion and for the impression you
are trying to project.
D. Application
With the same group, the students will be reading the following lines from the
song “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus.
Each group will be assigned an emotion and they have to read the lines applying
appropriate facial expression, gestures and body movements reflecting the emotion they
picked. At least 2-3 lines must be delivered individually but they have to work as a team.

Discuss the following key concepts:
Here are the seven top tips by Julie Kertesz to ensure you build great rapport
with your audiences — whatever the occasion. Julie Kertesz is a member of
Toastmasters International and winner of the Silver Comedy Best Newcomer 2012
1. Use a personal story or anecdote to connect with your audience. It shows that you
are ready to be open, vulnerable and personable, and it will make them more
receptive. The real power comes from your emotions — which will go straight to their
heart and they will remember your story long after the words have gone.
2. Use humour to lower the tension. Experiment with what makes your audiences
laugh and release any tension. Be ready to surprise them. Dare to mock what
happened to you — self-deprecating humour is a great way to make you appear more
human.
3. Create images and movies in the heads of your audience. Everyone will see
something slightly different in their mind's eye, adding their own experience to it and
making it theirs. Tell them enough, but leave room for them to add their own part. It
then becomes "their" story and point of view.
5. Be in the moment, in the present. Let go of any worries about yourself from the
interaction. This might be easy to say, but how to do it? Plan your talk, practise and
use personal stories and humour to let go of any tension. Remember to smile — and
breathe!
6. Use variety in your voice to enhance your message. For instance, quickening the
pace to add tension, emphasising key words to bring out important points (but don’t
overdo it!) and lowering your volume to add suspense. The most important things are
to connect with your own emotions and to speak about what you care about. It will
show.
7. Believe! Give yourself confidence by believing that the audience is your friend, and
will give you energy. Believe profoundly in what you are talking about and this will
take care of most of your vocal variety and gestures — and ensure that you project
authenticity.
Each audience, each room, each time is different. The same speech should be
adapted to every occasion, and will be received differently. Join a speaking club such
as Toastmasters International to give yourself the opportunity to practise in a
supportive environment. Experiment. Enjoy. Engage.
D. Application
283
Pair-Share Activity: Tell students to work with a partner. They will take turns
sharing a personal story or anecdote for about 2 minutes. When they’re done, they can
then give comments or suggestions to each other to improve their ability to build good
rapport.
E. Assessment
With the same group, students divide the lines from a declamation piece
entitled “Bad Girl”. Each student should say at least 3-5 sentences employing the
techniques in building good rapport with the audience. Give them 5 minutes to
prepare.
(*Refer to the declamation piece and rubric below)
BAD GIRL
Hey! Everybody seems to be staring at me.. You! You! All of you! How dare
you to stare at me? Why? Is it because I’m a bad girl? A bad girl I am, A good for
nothing teenager, a problem child? That’s what you call me! I smoke. I drink. I
gamble at my young tender age. I lie. I cheat, and I could even kill, if I have too.
Yes, I’m a bad girl, but where are my parents? You! You! You are my good parents? My
good elder brother & sister in this society where I live? Look…look at me…What
have you done to me? You have pampered and spoiled me, neglected me when I
needed you most! Entrusted me to a “yaya”, whose intelligence was much lower
than mine! While you go about your parties, your meetings and gambling sessions…
Thus… I drifted away from you! Longing for a father’s love, yearning for a mother’s
care! As I grew up, everything changed! You too have changed! You spent more time
in your poker, mahjong tables, bars and night clubs. You even landed on the headlines
of the newspaper as crooks, peddlers and racketeers. Now, you call me names; accuse
me in everything I do to myself? Tell me! How good are you? If you really wish to
ensure my future…. Then hurry….hurry back home! Where I await you, because I
need you… Protect me from all evil influences that will threaten at my very own
understanding… But if I am bad, really bad…then, you’ve got to help me! Help
me! Oh please…Help me!
