This document discusses four types of communication: intrapersonal (communication within oneself), interpersonal (between two people or small groups), public (presenting to a larger audience), and mass communication (through media). Intrapersonal involves self-thoughts and reflection. Interpersonal includes dyadic communication between two people or small group discussion. Public communication requires delivering a message to a larger audience using amplified voice, gestures, and potentially visual aids. Mass communication transmits information to broad audiences via television, radio, newspapers and the internet. The document provides examples of each type and instructs students to compare and discuss the differences in a graphic organizer.

Intrapersonal
This refers tocommunication that centers on one person where
the speaker acts both as the sender and the receiver of
message.
The message is made up of your thoughts and feelings. The
channel is your brain, which processes what you are thinking
and feeling.
There is feedback in the sense that as you talk to yourself, you
discard certain ideas and replace them with others.

Intrapersonal
Examples:
You spent thenight thinking and analyzing why a student from
the other class talked to you on the way home and you decided
it probably meant nothing.
You felt happy while thinking about how your teacher
appreciated you for submitting your project before the due date
and you reflected on why this was so.
6.
Interpersonal
This refers tocommunication between and among people and
establishes personal relationship between and among them.
Solomon and Theiss (2013) state that “the inter part of the
word highlights how interpersonal communication connects
people… when you engage in interpersonal communication,
you and another person become linked together…
The personal part means that your unique qualities as a
person matter during interpersonal communication…”
