A. Preliminary Activities

Let’s start the day right. May I call on (Name (The Student will pray)
of Student) to lead the prayer. Let us all stand
and feel the presence of the Lord.

Good Morning Class!

Good Morning, Sir!
You may take your seats now.
Thank you sir!
B. Review
Before we go to the next lesson, what was our
topic last meeting?
Our lesson last meeting was about story
That’s Correct! What is a story again?
A story is anything told or recounted; the
telling of happening, whether true or fictitious
Very Good! What are some elements of story?
Character, Plot, Setting, Theme, Conflict/
I’m glad that you still remember our lesson
last meeting.

C. Motivation

D. Presentation and Discussion

Before we move to the lesson, what is/are

your ideas about communication? Anyone? (Students Possible Answers etc..)
 Sir communication is the act of conveying
meanings from one or group to another
through the use signs and symbols
Very Good! What else?
Sir it is a process by which information is
exchanged between individuals through
symbols or behavior
Excellent! Some more?
Sir it is a verbal or written message to
someone.
That could be. Very Good!

Now what is your idea about Model?

Sir a model is a person or thing or of
proposed structure typically, smaller scale
than the original.
Okay, That’s Correct! What else?
A system or thing used as an example to
follow or imitate

Very Good!

Now that we have 2 concepts, lets now put

them together. We have here Models of
communication. But what are these models of
communication? Let’s find out

Please read the statement (Communication models are systematic

representations of the process which helps in
understanding how communication works and
done. It breaks the communication from
complex to simple and keeps the components
in order.)
Thank you for reading. The purpose of
communication model is to offer a visual
representation of a concept with the intent of
facilitating and understanding it.

Let’s move to the first Model, the Shannon and

Weaver model. Here are some informations
about them. Please read.
Claude Elwood Shannon was an American
mathematician, electrical engineer and
cryptographer known as “the father of
information theory”
 Warren Weaver was an American scientist,
mathematician, and science administrator. He
is widely recognized as one of the pioneers of
machine translation.
Thank you for reading, let’s now proceed to
their model. This is the model of Shannon and
Weaver where in, the sender will come first.
He is the originator of the message, he is the
one who made the message. Next is the
transmitter which converts the message into
signals (It could be an object, gadget) After the
transmitter we have the decoder, it’s the
reception place of the signal which converts
signals into message. And lastly the receiver,
the destination of message from sender.

Are we clear to the parts of the model?

Yes Sir!
Again what are the parts of the letter?
Sender, Encoder, Channel and Noise,
Decoder, Receiver and feedback
Okay Very Good!

Now I need 1 volunteer to read.

Sir!
Yes, please come in front and read the
message.
Thomson made call to his assistant “Come
here I want to see you” during his call, noise
appeared (transmission error) and his assistant
received “I want” only. Again assistant asked
Thomson (Feedback) “what do you want
Thomson”
Thank you for reading! Now Who is the
sender?
Sir Its Thomson
Correct! Next what is the encoder?
The Telephone Sir!
Very Good! And who is speaking in the
phone?
Thomson sir
Correct! How about the channel?
Cable Sir!
Correct! What is the noise?
Distraction in Voice
Very Good! And what is our reception?
 Telephone sir!
Excellent! And lastly who is the receiver?
The Assistant!
Very Good! Excellent Job class! Was it easy?
Yes Sir!
Well that’s great

Let’s move on to the next model, SMCR

Model of Berlo. Looking at the statement
what did berlo did on the work of Shannon
and weaver?
Sir he adapted the model of Shannon and
Weaver
Correct! Look at this graph. As you can see
that it became complex, we are now
identifying the factors of each elements.

Source: Is where the message originates

Communication skills: It is the individual’s
skills to communicate.
Attitudes – The attitude towards the audience
and subject.
Knowledge: You should know what you’re
talking about, it should be fact and precise
Social System – we consider the individual
differences and also the values, beliefs,
culture, religion. We should be sensitive
about it.
Culture – Again like in social system, we
consider the individual differences and
preferences of the people

Are we clear to the factors?

Yes Sir!
What are again the factors?
Communication Skills, Attitudes, Knowledge,
Social System, Culture.
The next one is our message, message is your
created substance, your thoughts and feelings.

Wherein, content includes your subject

While elements include not just the language

but the body movements (extra movements)
rather.
Treatment is the attitude or behavior towards
the message

In the structure, your messages are already

structured before it is being conveyed.

And in code this are different styles of

conveying a message like.

That’s for the factors of message, are we

clear? Again what are the factors?
Content, Elements, treatment, Structure, Code
Great!

Now let’s have the channel. I have a question

class, what do we do use when we’re watch
Televisions, Reading News and Listening to
radio?
Sir we use our senses
Very Good! In channel, it simply deals about
the different senses of a person.

And lastly the receiver, it has the same

function as the source but the key difference
is source is one who gives and receiver is one
who gets. Are we now clear to the SMCR
Model of Berlo?
Yes Sir
Let’s go through the next model, the
lasswell’s model. Its function is for the
surveillance of the environment.

Let’s take a look at the graph, what did you

notice on the graph?
Sir it is similar to the previous models.
Very Good! What else?
Sir the effect was added
Excellent! All your answers are correct!

Again I need one volunteer to read this

statement.
(The student reads the statement)
CNN NEWS – A water leak from Japan’s
tsunami – crippled nuclear power station
resulted in about 100 times permitted level of
radioactive material flowing into the sea,
 operator Tokyo Electric Power Company said
on Saturday
Thank your reading! From that statement

WHO is the speaker?

TEPC Operator Sir!
Very Good! WHAT is the message all about
The radioactive material flowing into sea
Excellent! And from what CHANNEL is it?
CNN News sir
Correct! To WHOM the message is for?
For the viewers sir
That’s correct! And lastly, what is the effect?
Alert the people of japan from the radiation
Very Good! All your answers are correct.

Now do we get the Laswell Model?

Yes Sir!
We’re almost through, let’s proceed to the
next, the Schramm model.

I want you class to take a look at this graph.

What can you observe in this graph compare
to the previous models.
Sir there is a two way communication process
unlike to other/previous models
Do you agree class?
Yes sir
Very Good! That’s correct!

In here our sender becomes the encoder, the

interpretation is the message of the person,
and the decoder is our receiver.

And the last Model is Helical Model, in this

figures, what do you think is the helix here?
The Second one Sir
Very Good! As you can see in this graph it
started from bottom up to top. It is a bottom-
up sequence. In here, the communication
becomes evolutionary.

Are we now all good to the Different models?

Yes Sir!
Now we move to some types of
Communication Models.
The first one is linear communication,
remember class in here. There’s only one way
of communication process.

In the previous models, what models fall

under this category?
Sir, Shannon-Weaver, Berlo’s Model and
Loswell’s Model
Excellent! Now the transactional, its just the
opposite of linear. In here it is a two way of
communication process.

What models fall under this category?

Very Good! It looks like we’re all good the do
models of communication. Do you have any
questions?
E. Generalization
What is Communication Model Again class?
Indeed!
Schramm Model and Helical Model sir!
None Sir!
(Communication models are systematic
representations of the process which helps in
understanding how communication works and
done. It breaks the communication from
complex to simple and keeps the components
in order.)
