B. Development-
1. Ways to listen: "The Listening Game."� Break into small
groups and designate a reader. Have reader read passage just once
and allow students to discuss with each other after (approx. 5 min).
Have reader switch groups and become reporter. Reporter will tell
class what they were told. Write differences on the board.
2. Ways to listen: Instruct students on F.A.C.T. "The Listening
Game"� Try the game again with two different passages. Have students
use F.A.C.T. Have them retell story as before...how much better did
they do?
3. Ways to take notes:
OUTLINE METHOD
MAPPING METHOD
Bing an active listening requires you to make sense of what the speaker
is saying. Figure out what the main ideas are and write them down
in words and phrases. Remember: The notes are for you; take notes
that make sense to you!
4. Active Listening:
Students will be instructed on "what does my teacher want me
to know?"� and how to take notes by answering that question.
5. Active Listening:
Students will be instructed on how to ask: Who, What, When, Where,
and Why, when taking notes during active listening. Who is involved,
What is being talked about, Where is it taking place, When is it taking
place, and Why did the situation happen. |

C. Practice-
1. Ways to listen: Applied to "To Kill A Mockingbird"� Students
will try to apply what they have learned from the listening game to
the book on CD. Students will be assessed what they have remembered
from a passage by answering 5 questions about the passage from TKM.
2. Listening and Taking Notes:
Students will be read a set of directions and instructed to take notes
if they wish. They will be introduced to "Pictures in your mind:
Active Listening"�
I will then read them a story and ask them to picture the scene in
their "mind's eye."� Students will then be asked to answer 10
questions about the story and what they pictured the scene to look
like. The students will then be asked to relate it to a scene in "To
Kill A Mockingbird"� where they picture the town. |

D. Independent Practice-
1. Tuning Into Directions:
Student's will be given a handout which they must color, following
directions. They will be asked to listen to all directions before
starting. Students will then listen to the set of directions. They
will then read a different set of directions and then listen to the
original directions repeated. They may then color the picture. The
correct response will be LIT, the incorrect response will be LISTEN
(if they did not listen and follow the directions).
Students will then be asked to create a map and direct their partner
to redraw the map while they give oral directions to them. Then they
must compare maps.
2. Active Listening: Students will then listen to a teacher give a
short lecture on "Social Thinking"� and take notes.
Student's will then be read 10 questions that they will have to answer
about a passage and then listen to a passage from "To Kill A
Mockingbird"� while using: who, what, when, where, why...while taking
notes. |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
Student's will then be read 10 questions that they will have to
answer about a passage and then listen to a passage from "To
Kill A Mockingbird"� while using: who, what, when, where, why...while
taking notes.
|
|
|
G. Closure-
1. As a groups, compare and contrast listening skills before with
current listening skills.
2. Discuss how the student's note taking has changed from before this
lesson until now. |
