participation in our activity. So, you don’t have
any choice but to participate. Would that be
okay?
4. Review
“Before we proceed to our new lesson today, let
us have first a recap of our previous lesson.
How can we tell if the statement is a fact and not
just an opinion? Or just an opinion and not a fact? “We can tell that a statement is a fact if it can be
proven and is true in all cases and for all people;
in other words, a universal truth. However,
opinions are statements that express a belief,
judgement, or feeling, and are debatable in
nature. These statements can potentially be
agreed or disagreed.”
Very good!
B. Motivation
Activity
I have here two different pictures to show you. I
need four volunteers to portray the conversations
that the characters have in the pictures.
“Yes, Justine?”
“Very good, Justine! Just like John Lloyd, you
are also paying attention on what they are doing a
while ago. I know that you are all attentive in this “John Lloyd listened attentively, ma’am, because
class. Am I right?” he was paying full attention to the speaker,
showed interest in what she is saying through
“Great!” When we say attentive class, you are expressions and body language, and he was also
paying close attention to something or to able to respond correctly.”
someone talking.
“Now, did John Lloyd also listen attentively
while Winmarie is talking? How can you say
so?” Yes, Denn? “It is important to pay attention to someone we
are talking to for us to understand what he/she is
“Okay, very well, Denn!”
trying to say and also we can properly respond to
the message so as to lead the conversation
“Why do you think it is important to pay further.”
attention to someone we are talking to? Yes
Jovelyn?”
“No Ma’am.”
“Very well said, Jovelyn! Thank you for sharing “In Zaldy and Marjie’s conversation, Ma’am, I
that very informative thought of yours.” have noticed that while Marjie was talking, Zaldy
“Do you have anything to add, class?” was not listening attentively, because he was
preoccupied by the thought that he forgot to bring
his wallet.”
“Okay, let us now proceed to the conversation
between Zaldy and Marjie. What have you
noticed with their conversation? Yes Blake?” “No, Ma’am. He was not able to get the message,
because he was not able to respond to her.”
ACTIVE LISTENING
Active listening as the name suggests is the
process wherein the listener, carefully hears what
the speaker says, processes the message and then
responds to the message so as to lead the
conversation further.
PASSIVE LISTENING
Passive Listening means listening to the speaker
during the communication but in an unconscious
manner. He/She sits quietly without responding
to the speaker. It is silent and patient listening,
wherein the listener neither interrupts nor
participates in the conversation.
D. Abstraction
“How about the passive listeners?” Passive Listeners are the ones who listen to the
message partially. Moreover, there is also the
absence of sensitivity to nuances, hidden
meanings, nonverbal clues which are involved in
the communication.
“Okay, great!”
E. Assessment
Identify whether the situation pertains to active or
passive listening. We will do this activity through
a game, and since this is a game the winner(s)
will receive a prize. This game is called “PILI-A
AKO” I have here two speech bubbles, the red
one is for the Active Listening and the blue one is
for the Passive Listening. I will give you the
scenarios and you have to choose whether it
belongs to active or passive listening. Once you
already have an answer, you have to fall in line in
front of the person holding the speech bubbles of
your choice. If you’ll get the wrong answer, you
have to take your seat. The last person(s)
standing will be declared winners.
Are you all ready?
Okay, let’s start the ball rolling.
