01

What Students Need to Do

Students listen closely, respond with several words, and ask questions that help them understand. They give and follow short sets of directions in order. They take turns in conversations, share relevant ideas, and communicate needs, feelings, and experiences clearly.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student listens without interrupting, responds in a complete thought, and asks a question that fits the topic. The student gives short directions in order and speaks clearly enough for a partner to follow them. During group talk, the student takes turns and expresses needs or feelings appropriately.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may think active listening means staying quiet, even if they cannot explain what they heard. They may answer with one word, interrupt, ask unrelated questions, or give steps out of order.

04

How to Assess It

Give this exit prompt: “Tell your partner how to draw a house using three steps.” The partner follows the directions, then asks one related question.

1. 01

   Give pairs picture cards showing three actions, then have students arrange the cards and orally guide a partner through the sequence.

2. 02

   Ask, “What makes someone a good partner?” Students share an idea, respond to a classmate, and ask one related question.

3. 03

   Play Direction Detective, where one student gives three oral steps and the group identifies any missing or out-of-order step.

4. 04

   Set up a classroom help desk where students practice introducing themselves, stating a need, and answering a follow-up question.
