This resource focuses on developing good listening skills among students. The learning objective is for students to demonstrate effective listening behaviors, such as sitting quietly, paying attention, and showing kindness. It outlines clear steps on how to listen—sitting still, paying attention, using facial expressions, and recognizing emotional cues from the speaker. The resource also emphasizes that everyone listens in their own way and includes activities to practice listening, such as reading non-verbal cues and using sign language. Students engage in partner activities and structured talk to reinforce their active listening skills through designated roles within group discussions. The document concludes by encouraging students to set personal listening goals and reflect on the importance of listening to peers.
