True story: I was tired of repeating directions and instructions over and over and over again in the classroom. I was also frustrated with the noise level – and how when I really need to get my students’ attention, I had defaulted to trying to talk over them in order to be heard. I also knew a few students were good listeners and I wondered how I could get the rest of the class on that route.
I knew there had to be something out there that would help me to teach my students how to be active listeners {before I lost my marbles} – but when I did Internet searches, most came back for ESL listening activities.
Hmmmmmm…my students weren’t ESL students. In fact, their English was definitely front and center. Especially during the school-wide assembly, when I wanted to crawl in a hole and hide until it was over. lol.
