Ground rules for talk Listening and Responding Respond non-verbally by nodding and maintaining eye contact. Don’t interrupt whilst others are talking. Ask questions to help you understand what you have heard. Show you have listened by recalling the main ideas, evaluating and then building on what was said. Speaking and presenting Speak clearly and audibly Maintain eye contact and use facial expressions an gesture for emphasis Think about your audience and purpose when speaking Group discussion and interaction Cooperate and collaborate Don’t interrupt each other – take turns Stick to the topic. Extend, develop or contest the previous person’s point. Drama, role-play, performance Create and sustain the role throughout the performance. Don’t be afraid to take risks.

Self evaluation Not at all Can I form relevant questions? Can I build on the ideas of others? Can I accept it when others disagree with me? Am I willing to listen to other people’s points of view? Do I show that I really respect others and their rights? Can I back up my opinions with good reasons? Do I know how to give examples and counter examples? Do I try to uncover underlying assumptions? Can I make balanced judgements based on evidence? Do I make sure that I address my contributions to the whole class and not just the teacher? Some of the time A lot of the time All of the time
