Mechanics: The teacher will first show each set of pictures. Then the students will have to guess the word suggested by the pictures. As the student got the correct word, he/she will be allowed to write it on the board; hence, points will be given to him/her. (There will be five sets of pictures with the corresponding words: communication, process, information, feelings, and message. These words will be used on the part of the discussion proper.)

Let the students guess what the topic is and ask the following questions.

·   How will you define communication in your own words?

·   What is the connection of these words (answers in the motivation activity) with communication?

Ask the students to arrange the words in order to come up with a definition of communication. Then, let them explain the given definition. Further elaborate the explanations given by the students and introduce the topic, The Definition of Communication.

While the third and the fourth group will present a situation that shows the effect of having no communication. Five minutes will be given to the students for their preparation.
