Speaking and Listening:
Flexible communication and collaboration
Including but not limited to skills necessary for formal
presentations, the Speaking and Listening standards
require students to develop a range of broadly useful
oral communication and interpersonal skills. Students
must learn to work together, express and listen
carefully to ideas, integrate information from oral,
visual, quantitative, and media sources, evaluate
what they hear, use media and visual displays
strategically to help achieve communicative purposes,
and adapt speech to context and task.
New tools showcase speaking…

but students don’t speak well.
Blame technology:
they text, tweet, Facebook
Blame us:
we don’t specifically teach speaking
Making kids talk
as an afterthought
in some other unit
is not the same as
teaching speaking.

Tropical forests cover just 7% of the
world’s surface, but these forests
contain more than half of the world’s
living species. A sad fact is that these
forests are being destroyed. Each
year, 40 million acres--about the size
of the state of Washington--disappear,
along with the plants and animals that
live there.

The dog was real little. He hardly
came up to my knee. But he opened
his mouth real wide, jumped up, and
bit me on the hand! I looked at my
hand and there were tooth marks.
It was a crazy play. I was on 2nd base
and my teammate was batting. He hit
a ball to left field. I was running
around third, the ball was coming in
from the outfield, the catcher was
blocking the plate, there was a big
crash, we looked at the umpire, but
she just stood there. We waited. And
waited. And waited. And finally the
ump said, “OUT!”
