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.

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.

Students listen and speak in your class.
It is up to you to teach students
how to do those well.
That is not the same as commenting after the fact.

I don’t think you’re dumb.
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!”
