Teaching Strategies
After speaking and listening: Consolidate and review
The learning and teaching approach for speaking and listening is illustrated for students responding to the serial story Little Obie and the Flood written by Martin Waddell and published by Walker Books Ltd, London in 1991.
Evaluate speaking and listening strategies
Students reflect on their involvement in a student-created play or the Little Obie story. They talk about how listening to other students can:
- help me learn new things
- amuse me and others
- help me know what to say.
Students review and evaluate the speaking and listening strategies they used during the session. They answer the cueing questions:
- What did you do that helped you to say what you wanted to say?
- What did you do that helped you listen to what others said?
Reflect on speaking and listening plan
Students reflect on the speaking and listening strategies they used while listening and responding to the story. They record the actions they used and evaluate how well it worked for them. They collate their speaking and listening strategies on a Things I do when I speak and listen chart.
