Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students listen closely during a presentation and ask questions that connect to what the speaker said. They answer audience questions clearly and respond to follow-up questions.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student asks specific questions connected to the speaker’s ideas. The student gives clear, accurate answers and adds details when the audience needs clarification.
Common Misconceptions: Students may offer comments instead of questions, ask about unrelated details, or repeat a question already answered. Speakers may give one-word replies or avoid the question. Some students forget to ask a follow-up when an answer is unclear.
How to Assess It: Pair students for 30-second book recommendations. Each student asks one relevant question after listening and answers one question with a clear detail.

Lesson moves

In teams, build a paper tower, explain one design choice, then take two audience questions and answer with details from the build.
After a classmate shares a claim about a novel, write one clarifying question and one follow-up question, then discuss the answers.
Play Question Ladder: draw who, what, why, or how cards, ask about a one-minute talk, and award points for relevant responses.
Hold a mock school board meeting about a new playground rule, with student speakers presenting proposals and classmates questioning each proposal.
