Verbal communication is the words spoken by the characters in a play. It is an

important part of our communication while Nonverbal communication is the
unspoken communication that goes on in every face-to-face encounter with another
human being. It tells you about their true feelings towards you and how well your
words are being received.

Do you know that 90% of our message is communicated nonverbally and only 10% is
actual words?

To be effective, we should know the kinds of nonverbal communication. These are the
following types of nonverbal communication and body language:
1. FACIAL EXPRESSION
Unlike some forms of nonverbal communication, facial expressions are
universal. Facial expressions refer to any movements and changes of the facial
composition such as happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear and disgust are the
same across cultures.
2. BODY MOVEMENT AND POSTURE
The way you move and carry yourself communicates a wealth of information
to the world. This type of nonverbal communication includes your posture, bearing
stance, and subtle movements you make.
3. GESTURES
Include the motion of the head or limbs. We wave, point, beckon and use our
hands when we’re arguing or speaking animatedly- expressing ourselves with gestures
often without thinking. However, the meaning of gestures can be very different across
cultures and regions, so it’s important to be careful to avoid misinterpretation.
4. EYE CONTACT AND MOVEMENTS
Are the direction and focus of a person’s eyes?
5. TOUCH
We communicate a great deal through touch. Think about the messages given
by the following: a weak handshake, a timid tap on the shoulder, a warm bear hug, a

reassuring slap on the back, a patronizing pat on the head, or a controlling grip on
your arm.
6. SPACE
Have you ever felt uncomfortable during a conversation because the other
person was standing too close and invading your space? We all have a need for
physical space, although that need differs depending on the culture, the situation, and
the closeness of the relationship. You can use physical space to communicate many
different nonverbal messages, including signals of intimacy and affection, aggression,
or dominance.
7. VOICE
It’s not just what you say, it’s how you say it. When we speak, other people
“read “our voices in addition to listening to our words. Things they pay attention to
include your timing and pace, how loud you speak, your tone and inflection, and
sounds that convey understanding, such as “ahh” and “ uh-huh”. Think about how
someone’s tone of voice, for example, can indicate sarcasm, anger, affection, or
confidence.

Friday Activity: (Reading Comprehension)

Direction: Read the balcony scene in the story of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo secretly
enters the Capulet orchard. Juliet comes out on her balcony alone; Romeo and Juliet
then speak of their love for each other.

The Balcony Scene William Shakespeare

Juliet: (to herself) Ay me! Romeo: (to himself) She speaks.

O, speak again, bright angel for thou art As glorious to this night, being o‘er my
head, As is a winged messenger of heaven unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
of mortals that fall back to gaze on him.
Juliet: (to herself) O, Romeo, Romeo. Wherefore art thou Romeo?

Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And
I‘ll no longer be a Capulet.
Romeo: (to himself) Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this? Juliet: ‗Tis but thy
name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, though not a Montague, What‘s Montague?
It is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O,
be some other name! What‘s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name
would smell as sweet. So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call‘d, Retain that dear
perfection which he owes Without that title, Romeo, doff thy name; And for thy name,
which is no part of thee, Take all myself.
Romeo: (reveals himself, to Juliet) I take thee at thy word.
Call me but love, and I‘ll be new baptized; Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
Juliet: (surprised) What man art thou that, thus bescreen‘d in night, So stumblest on
my counsel?
Romeo: By a name
I know not how to tell thee who I am.
My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself, Because it is an enemy to thee. Had I written
it, I would tear the word.
Juliet: My ears have yet not drunk a hundred words Of thy tongue‘s uttering, yet I
know the sound. Art thou not Romeo, and a Montague? Romeo: Neither, fair maid, if
either thee dislike.
Juliet: How camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore? The orchard walls are high
and hard to climb, And the place of death, considering who thou art, If any of my
kinsmen find thee here.
Romeo: With love‘s light wings did I o‘erperch these walls;
For stony limits cannot hold love out, And what love can do, that dares love attempt.
Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me. Juliet: If they do see thee, they will murder
thee. Romeo: Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye Than twenty of their swords!
Juliet: I would not for the world they saw thee here. Romeo: I have night ‘s cloak to
hide me from their eyes; And but thou love me, let them find me here. My life were
better ended by their hate That death prorogued, wanting of thy love.
Juliet: By whose direction found‘st thou out this place?
Romeo: By love, that first did prompt me to inquire. He lent me counsel, and I lent
him eyes. I am no pilot; yet, wert thou as far As that vast shore washed with the
farthest sea, I should adventure for such merchandise.
Juliet: Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say―Aye‖; And I will take thy word. Yet,
if thou swear‘st, Thou mayst prove false. At lovers‘ perjuries, They say Jove laughs. O
gentle Romeo, If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully. Romeo: Lady, by yonder
blessed moon I vow, That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops --- Juliet: O, swear
not by the moon, th‘ inconstant moon, That monthly changes in her circled orb, Lest
that thy love prove likewise variable.

Romeo: What shall I swear by? Juliet: Do not swear at all; Or if thou wilt, swear by
thy gracious self, Which is the god of my idolatry, And I‘ll believe thee.
Romeo: If my heart‘s dear love ---
Juliet: Well, do not swear. Although I joy in thee, I have no joy of this contract
tonight. It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden;Too like the lightning, which doth
cease to be Ere one can say it lightens. Sweet, good night!
Romeo: O, wilt thou leave me unsatisfied?
Juliet: What satisfaction canst though have tonight? Romeo: Th‘ exchange of thy
love‘s faithful vow for mine.
Juliet: I gave thee mine before thou didst request it; And yet I would it were to give
again.
Romeo: Wouldst thou withdraw it? For what purpose, love?
Juliet: But to be frank, and give it thee again. And yet I wish but for the thing I have.
My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The
more I have, for both are infinite. (Hears the nurse calling.) I hear some noise within.
Dear love, adieu!
