In a small group communication, Rolyn Jay started a discussion about the movie Every Child Is
Special. However, due to lack of focus, Bettina Loise was not able to listen to what Rolyn Jay has
said and so she tried, instead, to discuss about their Acquaintance Party as a new topic for
discussion. As Nigel and John Isaac are both performers in the said party, they both took turns in
talking about the party, much to the dismay of the other members of the group. Kurt Jalen, being
the moderator, overcame the temporary communication breakdown and restated all that Rolyn Jay
had previously said. After everyone in the group understood all that Rolyn Jay had said, Jozalyn
wanted to discuss about a reaction paper to be presented to Ms. Mylene Suarez, manager of
Excellence Media Enterprise. However, distracted by the noise coming from Nigels iPhone and
Jairo Joaquins iPod, many members of the group temporarily lost track of the flow of discussion
but Kurt Jalen was, once again, able to overcome the temporary communication breakdown. Now,
to ensure that everyone in the group is in tune and mindful of the agenda, Rolyn Jay started
asking questions to the group as Kurt Jalen reminded everyone to give only feedbacks or
reactions that are relevant to the topic. After Carlos had shared his own insights, Kriscia May
spoke about the nature and cause of dyslexia. After everyone in the group agreed to write a
reaction paper, Kurt Jalen finally called for an adjournment of the meeting.
