B. Motivation
LANGUAGE SHOWDOWN!
Today, we are going to have a new
topic. But before we formally start our
discussion, we will have a game that is
called, Language Showdown! Exciting!

Here are the mechanics of the game:

We will going to have a two set. For the
Spoken and Written Language.

First is for the Spoken, Each team

selects a representative to participate in
the spoken language challenge and I will (The students are listening carefully)
give them topics on everyday scenarios.
The representatives take turns speaking
on the given topics for a specified
amount of 2-3 minutes. The rest of the
team members act as judges, evaluating
the speakers based on clarity, coherence,
and persuasiveness of their spoken
responses.

Second is for the Written, After the

spoken language challenge, the roles are
reversed, and the other team members
become the participants in the written
language challenge. I will also provide
each team with a written prompt or
scenario, such as writing a persuasive
essay or drafting a dialogue between
characters. Team members collaborate
to compose written responses to the
prompts within 2-3 minutes. The written
responses are then exchanged between
teams, and each team evaluates the
clarity, organization, and effectiveness
of the other team's written
communication.

Wonderful! Hence, as it has something

to do with acting and excessive motions,
where could our topic be related to?

Very good! our topic for today is one of

the Theatrical Styles, Pantomime. Have
you already encountered this type of
performance?

 c. Gestures, facial expressions, and
body language as a crucial element in
pantomime, how pivotal it is in
communication?

Student 1: Spectacular
Student 2: Amusing

It is to preserve and promote the

essence of dramas and plays that we see
being presented in stage. We never
know, through these kind of activities,
the school might awaken one’s passion
to be a performer. In addition, it allows
the students to express themselves
creatively in various issues.

Non-verbal communication plays a

huge role in the world of pantomime.
However, other than that, it is already
taking a big part in our daily life as we
socialize with others. It exhibits our
feelings, our mood, and our expressions
in a particular situation.
