Skills & Standards

Aligned to the TEKS framework, these activities emphasize modeling of effective speaking and discussion behaviors, then guided practice so students can apply the same expectations in new contexts. Students practice analytical reasoning by identifying what makes communication effective, and they strengthen evidence-based explanations by linking claims to observable behaviors and notes gathered during speaking and listening tasks. Instruction also supports crosscutting concepts such as communication across contexts and using feedback to revise thinking, alongside core ELA ideas around composing and delivering meaning through language.

Perfect For

• Teachers seeking structured instruction
• Sub plans
• Homework or review
• Intervention or centers
• Assessment preparation

How to Use

Use the five worksheets across multi-day pacing: day 1 start with evaluation to set criteria, day 2 build organization with presentation structure, day 3 establish discussion norms for collaborative talk, day 4 run delivery refinement during rehearsals, and day 5 reinforce active listening with evidence capture during peer practice. For best results, pair each worksheet with a brief teacher model (a short sample student response or teacher example), then schedule quick partner “try-it” rounds so students can revise notes before presenting. These pages work well as centers stations, exit-ticket evidence for speaking and listening checks, or homework review after a mini-lesson on one specific skill.
