Now, let’s review the Speaking andListening expectations for 1. Real Time Engagement (MODE 1) performances will entail real time engagement in the speaking and listening process. Students will listen to a pre-recorded speech and/or media production and speak/respond using spontaneous oral responses. (Grades 9, 11) 2. Advance Preparation (MODE 2) performances will entail advance preparation in the speaking and listening process. Students will perform research using authentic and grade-appropriate topics, share their findings in the form of a formal presentation (speaking) and respond spontaneously to audience questions (listening and speaking) (Grades 10, 12)
Instructional Implications How can teachers implement speaking and listening skills in daily instruction in order to prepare students for Real Time Engagement and Advance Preparation?

What are the responsibilities of the student? How can teachers foster student independence during learning?
