Not only is establishing speaking norms critical to a discussion or speech, listening norms and practices are equally critical. What is the point in a grand speaking opportunity if no one is listening?
As a class, discuss practices of good listeners. What do they do? What do they look like? What behaviors do they exemplify? Create an Ideal Listener (large man outline poster) for students to post these qualities using post-it notes.
During a speech, presentation, and/ or discussion, students may find parallel notes or Cornell Notes useful in order to keep track of information and their opinions/ reaction to the material mentioned. Below is an attached template for parallel notes.
