Objective:

1. Explain the nature and process of communication.

2. Differentiate various models of communication.

Subject: Oral Communication

Grade Level: Grade 11

Learning across curriculum:

1. English Literature - Students can explore how communication is portrayed in

various literary works, such as analyzing dialogues and understanding the impact of
effective communication in storytelling.

2. Psychology - Students can learn about the psychological aspects of

communication, including nonverbal cues, body language, and the impact of
communication on relationships.

3. Sociology - Students can examine how communication plays a role in social

interactions, group dynamics, and cultural differences.

Review Motivation:

1. Show a video clip of a powerful speech or presentation, discussing the impact of

effective communication on the audience.

2. Conduct a role-play activity where students act out different scenarios with varying
communication styles and discuss the outcomes.

3. Share real-life examples of miscommunication or misunderstandings that had

significant consequences to emphasize the importance of effective communication.

Activity 1: Exploring the Nature and Process of Communication

Materials: Whiteboard, markers, handouts with communication models

Instructions:

1. Begin with a class discussion on the definition and importance of communication.

2. Introduce different communication models (e.g., linear, interactive, transactional)
and explain each model's components.

3. Divide students into small groups and provide them with handouts containing
examples of different communication models.

4. In their groups, students analyze the examples and discuss the nature and
process of communication depicted in each model.

5. Each group presents their analysis to the class.

Rubrics:

- Accuracy of analysis: 10 points

- Presentation skills: 5 points

Assessment Questions:

1. What are the key components of the linear communication model?

2. How does the transactional communication model differ from the interactive
model?

Activity 2: Differentiating Various Models of Communication

Materials: PowerPoint presentation, handouts with scenarios

Instructions:

1. Present a PowerPoint presentation that explains different communication models

in detail, including their strengths and limitations.

2. Distribute handouts with scenarios that require students to identify the

communication model being used.

3. Students work individually to analyze the scenarios and determine the appropriate
communication model.

4. Facilitate a class discussion where students share their answers and reasoning.
Rubrics:

- Correct identification of communication models: 10 points

- Explanation and justification: 5 points

Assessment Questions:

1. In which communication model does feedback play a significant role? Explain.

2. How does the interactive communication model differ from the transactional
model?

Analysis:

After the completion of each activity, the teacher will analyze the students' responses
and class discussions to assess their understanding of the nature and process of
communication and their ability to differentiate various communication models. This
analysis will help identify any misconceptions or areas that need further clarification.

Abstraction:

Through the activities, students will abstract the key concepts related to the nature
and process of communication, as well as the differences between communication
models. They will understand that communication is a complex and dynamic process
influenced by various factors.

Application:

To apply their knowledge, students will be given a real-life problem related to

communication, such as resolving a conflict between two friends or improving
communication within a team. They will use their understanding of communication
models to propose effective solutions.

Assessment:
Teachers can assess students' learning through various methods, including:

1. Written quizzes or tests on the nature and process of communication and different
communication models.

2. Oral presentations where students explain and demonstrate their understanding of

communication models.

3. Group projects where students apply their knowledge of communication models to

analyze real-life communication situations.

Assignment:

For homework, students can be assigned to observe and analyze communication in

a specific context, such as a family gathering, a business meeting, or a public event.
They will document their observations and provide an analysis based on the
communication models discussed in class.
