C. Lesson Proper

From the student’s view points, the teacher will explain that just like when
communicating to someone, everything you say and do means something.
Oftentimes, misunderstanding occurs when the message perceived is different
from the intended message. To prevent such, we will talk about VERBAL AND NON
VERBAL COMMUNICATION.

Differentiate verbal from nonverbal communication.
Verbal Communication - means communicating with words, written or spoken
- consists of speaking, listening, writing and reading
Non-verbal Communication – is a communication without words only visual cues
such us behaviors, postures, facial expressions, eye gaze, gestures, and tone of
voice
