Objectives (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Understand the communication process: Students should be able to explain what the communication process is, identifying its basic elements (sender, receiver, message, channel, code, and context) and understanding the importance of each of them for communication effectiveness.

2. Identify types of communication: Students should be able to differentiate and identify the main types of communication (verbal, non-verbal, written, and oral) in everyday situations and various texts.

3. Analyze the effectiveness of communication in different contexts: Students should be able to evaluate the effectiveness of communication in various situations, considering the elements of the communication process and the types of communication involved.

Secondary objectives:

• Foster the development of oral and written communication skills: During the exploration of the topic, students will be encouraged to express their ideas clearly and coherently, contributing to the improvement of their communication skills.

• Stimulate critical reflection on communication in contemporary society: By analyzing the effectiveness of communication in different contexts, students will be invited to reflect on the importance of communication in social life and the possible consequences of ineffective communication.

Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Review of Previous Content: The teacher starts the lesson by briefly reviewing the concepts of language and communication that were previously studied. He may ask students what they remember and encourage their participation to recall the main points. (3 - 5 minutes)

2. Problem Situations: The teacher proposes two problem situations to arouse the interest and curiosity of the students:

   • Situation 1: 'Imagine you are in a place where you do not know the local language and need to ask for information. How would you communicate?'

   • Situation 2: 'Have you ever sent a message to someone and the person understood it completely differently from what you meant? What do you think could have happened?' (3 - 5 minutes)

3. Contextualization: The teacher highlights the importance of studying the communication process, showing how this knowledge is fundamental for daily life, whether to communicate with people from different cultures and languages, or to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts. In addition, the teacher may mention how communication effectiveness is crucial in various professions and fields of activity. (2 - 3 minutes)

4. Introduction to the Topic: To introduce the topic and arouse the students' interest, the teacher can:

   • Curiosity 1: 'Did you know that, according to studies, only 7% of our communication is done through words? The rest is composed of 55% facial expressions and 38% tone of voice. This shows how important non-verbal communication is and how context influences message interpretation.'

   • Curiosity 2: 'Have you heard of the 'telephone game'? In it, one person starts a sentence and passes it on to the next, without repeating, until the last person. In the end, the sentence is usually completely different. This happens because, throughout the communication process, the message is modified according to each person's interpretation. Let's better understand how this works today.' (3 - 5 minutes)

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Activity 1: Revisited Telephone Game (10 - 15 minutes)

   • The teacher divides the class into groups of 5 to 6 students and gives each group a sheet with a drawing. The drawing should be simple, like a circle, a square, a triangle, a straight line, among others.

   • The teacher explains that each group will have to create a message to describe the drawing they received, without showing the drawing to the other groups. The message should be written on a separate sheet.

   • Then, the group passes the message to the next group, which must try to draw what was described in the message, without reading the original message. The drawing is passed to the next group, which will have to create a new message based on the drawing, and so on.

   • In the end, the last group will show the final drawing, which will be compared to the original drawing. The teacher will lead a discussion on how the message was modified throughout the communication process, emphasizing the importance of clear and effective communication.

2. Activity 2: Role-Playing Communication Situations (10 - 15 minutes)

   • The teacher proposes some communication situations for the groups, such as a tourist trying to ask for information in a country whose language he does not speak, a student trying to explain a complex subject to a classmate, an employee trying to solve a problem with an irritated customer, among others.

   • Each group chooses one of the situations and creates a short script to represent it. They should consider all elements of the communication process and the types of communication (verbal, non-verbal, written, and oral) involved.

   • Then, the groups present their scenes and the class discusses the effectiveness of communication in each of them, pointing out strengths and possible improvements.

3. Activity 3: Creating an Infographic about the Communication Process (5 - 10 minutes)

   • The teacher divides the class into groups and gives each group a large sheet of paper and colored pens. The task is to create an infographic that visually and creatively represents the communication process, highlighting the elements of the process and the types of communication.

   • Students can use drawings, keywords, arrows, colors, among other elements, to build the infographic. The goal is for the infographic to be clear and informative, so that anyone who sees it can understand the communication process.

   • In the end, each group presents their infographic to the class, explaining the choices they made. The teacher provides feedback on each infographic, highlighting the positive points and suggesting possible improvements.

These playful and interactive activities aim to provide students with a deeper and more meaningful understanding of the communication process, while developing their oral and written communication skills, teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking.

Return (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Group Discussion (2 - 3 minutes)

   • The teacher promotes a group discussion about the solutions or conclusions found by each group in the activities carried out. Each group will have up to 3 minutes to share their observations and reflections.

   • During the discussion, the teacher should encourage students to relate the activities to the theory studied, highlighting how each situation experienced in the activities relates to the elements of the communication process and the types of communication.

2. Connection with Theory (1 - 2 minutes)

   • After the discussion, the teacher summarizes the main ideas presented by the groups, connecting them to the theory of the communication process.

   • The teacher can reinforce important concepts, clarify possible doubts, and point out the practical application of the knowledge acquired. For example, he can highlight how understanding the communication process can help avoid misunderstandings, improve communication in different contexts, and deal more effectively with communication difficulties.

3. Individual Reflection (1 - 2 minutes)

   • To conclude the lesson, the teacher proposes that students reflect individually on what they have learned. He asks some guiding questions that students should answer mentally:

     1. What was the most important concept learned today?
     2. What questions have not been answered yet?
     3. How can I apply what I learned today in my daily life?

   • After a minute of reflection, the teacher can invite some students to share their answers with the class, if they wish. If there are unanswered questions, the teacher can note them for clarification in future lessons.

4. Teacher's Feedback (1 minute)

   • At the end of the lesson, the teacher gives overall feedback on the students' participation, highlighting strengths and areas that can be improved. He reinforces the importance of continuous study and practice for deepening knowledge of the communication process.

This Return stage is crucial to consolidate learning, promote reflection on the learning process, and identify possible gaps in understanding that need to be addressed in future lessons. In addition, it contributes to the development of metacognition skills, which involve the ability to reflect on one's own thinking and learning.
