Active Listening Practice

Students listening and talking respectfully

🎯 WALT (We Are Learning To)

We are learning to use respectful sentence stems when listening and responding to others.

✅ Success Criteria

I can:

Use sentence stems like "I agree because..." and "Can you explain that in another way?"

Listen carefully to what others are saying

Respond respectfully even when I disagree

Ask questions to understand better

🗣️ Part 1: Respectful Response Practice

1. Your friend says: "I think cats are better pets than dogs." Choose the most respectful response:

That's wrong! Dogs are way better.

I disagree because dogs are more loyal and friendly.

Can you explain why you think cats make better pets?

Whatever, I don't care.

2. Someone shares an idea you agree with. Complete this sentence stem:

I agree because _________________________________

3. You don't understand what someone just said. Write a respectful way to ask for clarification using a sentence stem:
4. Match the situation with the best sentence stem:
You want to add to someone's idea
You disagree politely
You need more information
"I have a different opinion because..."
"I'd like to build on that by..."
"Can you tell me more about..."

🎲 Part 2: Pass the Question Game

5. Game Rules: Read the discussion topic below. Write three respectful questions you could ask to keep the conversation going:

Topic: "Our school should have longer lunch breaks."

Question 1: ________________________________

Question 2: ________________________________

Question 3: ________________________________

6. Group Discussion Prompts - Choose ONE to discuss with your group. Write your group's main ideas:

What makes a good friend?

Should students choose their own school subjects?

How can we make our classroom a better place?

Our group discussed: _________________________

🌟 Differentiation & Extension

🔤 Dyslexia-Friendly Option: Use these shorter sentence stems:

When you want to disagree: _________________________

When you want to ask for help: _________________________
