This week, a lot of students have been practicing their giving of directions as well as their listening to directions with a Valentine's Day barrier activity. We've used this activity to talk about the importance of using specific and descriptive language, taking our listener's perspective, and asking follow up questions to directions that confuse us. Students had fun lifting the barrier to see if their paper matched their partners! Some of my students are working on asking follow-up questions during conversations. This is an important skill to reciprocal conversations. It is important that conversations are not one sided, but that our conversational partner feels we are taking their interests and responses into consideration. Below is an example of some follow-up question brainstorming completed with a student during speech.
