EN7LC-IV-a-8.1: Determine the intentions of speakers by focusing on their unique verbal and non-verbal cues

# data[].attributes.body
Our learning objective clearly says that we need to understand how people communicate through words, tone, and actions. We will define and identify verbal and nonverbal cues, listen carefully to an audio play, and show respect and attentiveness while listening. This will help us understand others better and communicate more kindly and clearly.

For our reinforcement activity, we will use a “comic badge” reward system to keep the class lively and engaging. Throughout the lesson, students can earn a comic badge for showing active participation, good listening, and respectful communication.

For our randomizer, we will use a “fun number” system to make the activity more exciting and fair. Each student will be assigned a unique number at the start of the class. When it’s time to choose someone to participate, we will randomly draw a number, and the student with that number will take their turn.

For Motivation/Springboard, the teacher will show a comic strip or drawing without any dialogue. The picture will feature characters with different facial expressions and body movements. As the students look at the picture, they will listen carefully to short lines or dialogues read by the teacher.

For Motivation/Springboard, the teacher will play different emotion sounds, and students will pick the matching image on the board. A random student’s answer will be chosen to unlock the correct image. This will lead to a short discussion on verbal and nonverbal cues, where the teacher explains the difference between verbal (words) and nonverbal (actions, tone, expressions) communication.

For our instructional tool, we will use the main speaker to support students in developing their listening skills. It will play pre-recorded instructions and audio clips that will be used during the motivation and abstraction parts of the lesson. This allows students to listen closely to tone, emotion, and clarity in each audio. Using the speaker also makes instructions clear, consistent, and engaging, helping students understand verbal and nonverbal cues more effectively while keeping their attention focused on the task.

For Activity Proper, the teacher will play an audio recording of the instructions through the main speaker. The students will then create a comic or drawing strip that shows gestures or actions to represent nonverbal cues and written dialogues to show verbal cues of communication. This activity will allow students to apply what they have learned by expressing emotions and messages through both words and actions.

For Assessment, the students will analyze printed dialogues or pictures from online platforms that show nonverbal communication. They will then create their own dialogues that include different verbal cues to match the images. This will assess their understanding of how verbal and nonverbal cues work together to express meaning and emotion in communication.
