What will be an ideal response?
• Encoding, the first step is when the sender feels the need to convey a message to another individual, or group. Words are the most familiar symbolic form of message, however, non-verbal symbols may also be used.
• Transmitting is the second step. Here, the sender of the message conveys it through some medium. The medium may be spoken word, signs, or even a cellphone.
• The Medium, or channel, is the conduit through which the message travels. Again, this can be spoken word, email, or a phone line.
• The fourth step, Receiving, is how the person or persons intended to receive the message, actually receives it. This message may delayed or perceived differently dependent upon how it is received.
• Finally, decoding, the fifth step occurs. This can actually be a complex step, as the intended receiver of the message interprets and determines the meaning of the message.
