Speaking and Listening

This term, our students will be given opportunities to develop their speaking and listening skills. They will be taught the skills that a presenter (speaker) and audience member (listener) demonstrate. Students will demonstrate their speaking and listening skills by:   

• ‘Turning and talking’ during class discussions  
• Collaborating with their peers  
• Presenting their own poetry  
• Listening to their peers’ poetry presentations   
• Delivering feedback and feedforward on their learning and presentations   
• Contributing their ideas to classroom discussions
