Step 2: Content Presentation: Start with power point presentation discussing barriers in communication. Language, tone, body language, emotions. Show how to be assertive video to show how it can relate to them. With real life examples. 
Step 3: Learner Participation: Students will break up into groups of two. They will be assigned a drawing at random. Partner #1 will describe the image to partner #2 without being able to see it. Partner #2 will have to draw that image based only on partner #1s description. They will have a time limit of 1 minute. They will do this once and then get a new drawing and the other person will be describing and drawing. They each will get 2 chances as a drawer and 2 as a describer. 
Step 4: Assessment: Once complete each student will write 1 paragraph a minimum of 8 sentences listing 5 different barriers to communication they experienced during the activity and how it might relate to everyday communication.
Step 5: Follow-Through Activities: The next lesson the students will have to try to eliminate their own communication barriers while conducting interviews and being interviewed. The skill set is the same but they will have to apply it in a new application.
Lesson Plan Summary: The instructional strategies used in this lesson come from Gagne’s nine events of instruction. I based the structure of what the students will be doing on each one of those components. The cognitivism model best fits the way this information can be taught for this particular objective and in my classroom environment. They have real demonstrations of the desired skill and then they have the opportunity to practice that skill with immediate feedback.
