“No, no, I’m sorry, I’m going to have to interrupt you,” she was saying, and I could
see she was talking to two boys sitting on the benches immediately in front of her.
Her voice wasn’t exactly strange, but she was speaking very loudly, in the sort of
voice she’d use to announce something to the lot of us, and that was why we’d all
gone quiet. “No, Peter, I’m going to have to stop you. I can’t listen to you anymore
and keep silent.” - Kazuo Ishiguro

There's a silence. ALBUS nods. Pause. HARRY realizes what he's said.

“In that direction,” the Cat said, waving its right paw round, “lives a Hatter: and
in that direction,” waving the other paw, “lives a March Hare. Visit either you like:
they’re both mad.”
“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re
mad.”
“You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”
- C.S. Lewis, Alice in Wonderland
When you cross your arms, people may assume that you are either feeling
cold or you express disagreement. In every action, there are a lot of possible
messages and interpretations.
This is how communication works. The process of communication refers to
the passage of information or message from the sender through a selected channel
to the receiver. As shown in the diagram below, communication is cyclic or repeated.

(Note: SFX is an abbreviation for special effects)
AGNES: (To herself) I won't pick it up. I won't let them hear
me. I'll be quiet -- and they'll think -- But if I don't call
someone now while they're still down there there'll be no time.
AGNES: But you've got to hear me! Please, please. You've got
to help me. There's someone in this house -- someone who's going
to murder me -- and you've got to get in touch with the…
AGNES: There it is! Did you hear it? He's put it down. He's
put down the extension phone. He's coming up the stairs. Give me
the police department.
AGNES: OK. Hurry. I can hear him. Oh, no. Please, oh, god, hurry.

gradually louder until it merges with train whistle)

Go back to the excerpt of Sorry, Wrong Number in Activity 1 (p. 6-7). In order
to survive, the main character’s challenge is to conquer her fear. If you were Agnes,
what would you rather say or do? Show another trail of conversation through a comic
strip. Feel free to add images of characters.

(1) “Tessie,” Mr. Summers said. There was a pause, and then Mr. Summers
looked at Bill Hutchinson, and Bill unfolded his paper and showed it. It was
blank.
(2) “It’s Tessie,” Mr. Summers said, and his voice was hushed. “Show us her
paper, Bill. “
(5) Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box,
they still remembered to use stones. The pile of stones the boys had made earlier
was ready; there were stones on the ground with the blowing scraps of paper that
had come out of the box Delacroix selected a stone so large she had to pick it up
with both hands and turned to Mrs. Dunbar. “Come on,” she said. “Hurry up. “
(6) Mrs. Dunbar had small stones in both hands, and she said, gasping for
breath. “I can’t run at all. You’ll have to go ahead and I’ll catch up with you.”
(7) The children had stones already. And someone gave little Davy Hutchinson a
few pebbles.
(8) Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, and she held
her hands out desperately as the villagers moved in on her. “It isn’t fair,” she
said. A stone hit her on the side of the head. Old Man Warner was saying, “Come
on, come on, everyone. ” Steve Adams was in the front of the crowd of villagers,
with Mrs. Graves beside him.
(9) “It isn’t fair, it isn’t right,” Mrs. Hutchinson screamed, and then they were
upon her.
- Shirley Jackson, The Lottery (Excerpt)
Additional Activities
In The Lottery, there is a terrifying ritual that people blindly follow. The author
clearly suggests a big challenge for its readers: the importance of questioning a
practice or tradition.
Are you up to this challenge? Get your friends’ or relatives’ opinion on the
practices and societal issues below. Take note of the verbal and nonverbal messages
of your interviewees.
1. K-Pop Invasion
One study revealed that Filipino youths’ excessive exposure to Korean Pop
Culture (KPop) slowly takes away the local values and traditions. For example,
teenagers use skin whitening soaps and creams because of their new beauty
standards. Plastic surgery seems acceptable now too. Do we have to limit teen’s
exposure to KPop?

What Is It
As a teenager, you are already aware of how you should talk to particular
types of people. Today, we are going to explore that through the discussion of
Communicative Styles.
According to Martin Joos (1976), Communicative Style or Speech Style
means the form of language that the speaker uses which is characterized by the
degree of formality.
Example: You may greet your friend casually like “Hey!” but not your parent
or teacher under normal situations.
1. Frozen
Example: Couple talking about their future plans, family sharing ideas, very
close friends sharing secrets, etc.
3. Casual
This is an informal communication between groups and peers. Casual style
is used in conversation between friends and insiders who have something to share
and have shared background information but don’t have close relations.
4. Consultative
This style is used in semi-formal communication. Sentences tend to be
shorter and spontaneous and the speaker does not usually plan what he/she will
say.
Answer the activities that follow to practice your knowledge and skill about
verbal and nonverbal communication.
Activity 1
Read the following conversations and identify which communicative style is
being used. Write the letter of your answer on the space before the number.

authorities.

____ 8. “Honey, I am your number one fan.”

Assessment
Between 1941 and 1945, the holocaust happened wherein Jews were
brought to concentration camps and about 6 million of them were killed. The
passages below are from the diary of Anne Frank. Anne and her family hid in an
attic to avoid the holocaust. Read the passages and answer the questions that
follow.
October 9th 1942: “Today I have nothing but dismal and depressing news to
report. Our many Jewish friends and acquaintances are being taken away in
droves. The Gestapo is treating them very roughly and transporting them in
cattle cars to Westerbork, the big camp in Drenthe to which they’re sending all
the Jews. Miep told us about someone who’d managed to escape from there. It
must be terrible in Westerbork. The people get almost nothing to eat, much less
to drink, as water is available only one hour a day, and there’s only one toilet and
sink for several thousand people. Men and women sleep in the same room, and
women and children often have their heads shaved. Escape is almost impossible;
many people look Jewish, and they’re branded by their shorn heads. If it’s that
bad in Holland, what must it be like in those faraway and uncivilized places
where the Germans are sending them? We assume that most of them are being
murdered. The English radio says they’re being gassed. Perhaps that’s the
quickest way to die. I feel terrible. Miep’s accounts of these horrors are so
heartrending… Fine specimens of humanity, those Germans, and to think I’m
October 20th 1942: “My hands still shaking, though it’s been two hours since
we had the scare… The office staff stupidly forgot to warn us that the carpenter,
or whatever he’s called, was coming to fill the extinguishers… After working for
about fifteen minutes, he laid his hammer and some other tools on our bookcase
(or so we thought!) and banged on our door. We turned white with fear. Had he
heard something after all and did he now want to check out this mysterious
looking bookcase? It seemed so, since he kept knocking, pulling, pushing and
jerking on it. I was so scared I nearly fainted at the thought of this total stranger
managing to discover our wonderful hiding place…”

Just like Anne Frank, narrate the most notable day in your life. Choose an

difference. Do it in form of a Vlog. If there are means, your teacher might ask you
to record and upload it. Guided by the appropriate communicative style, write your
script in the box below. Be guided by the given questions and rubric.
