scottmpetri Jun 30 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@dragonmark_101 Keep polishing that portfolio. Something will click. #sstlap

Ryan7Read Jun 30 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: Open mic. Have students step up, talk about what they are interested in and why to the class and how they want to talk about it. #sstlap

CHitch94 Jun 30 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1) When teaching f2f, Ss often had to present in small groups about what they had done. Short but frequent practice. #sstlap

historytechie Jun 30 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Good evening #sstlap Liz APGov & World T joining in from CA after finishing the LAST day of summer school!

historytechie Jun 30 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@scottmpetri I think it benefits both so important 2 hear those stories before they r gone #sstlap

erik_palmer Jun 30 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@MrBold05 Dramatic readings work best if students have specific lessons about speaking well. See https://t.co/XwoaSECEaU for Life #sstlap

jmadlin001 Jun 30 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@CHitch94 Some of my Special ed Ss have used Voice Thread. It worked really well. #sstlap

scottmpetri Jun 30 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q2 How can Ts create Driveway Moments that fully immerse the entire class in listening? #sstlap https://t.co/o4wmnl0fpS

erik_palmer Jun 30 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@N_Davidson18 That makes speaking seem special. Good for you! After all, speaking is the #1 language art. #sstlap

CHitch94 Jun 30 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2) I like to use NPR stories/interviews. Some Ss really were into one w/ Sandy Tolan, author of The Lemon Tree. #sstlap

scottmpetri Jun 30 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@MrBold05 @HamiltonMusical Lots of great possibilities. High interest area for students. https://t.co/lXgsRuDh4W #sstlap

erik_palmer Jun 30 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@scottmpetri Simple: have something worth listening to. Unfortunately student presentations almost never fit that bill #sstlap

CHitch94 Jun 30 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2) @ListenCurrent has audio stories curated by subject area. Great resource! #sstlap

scottmpetri Jun 30 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@historytechie Its hard to tell who loves inappropriate song parodies more, me or my students? #sstlap

@scottmpetri that's so great!!!! Learn from the past so that we don't repeat bad history .no book can compare 2 that experience interview

mrterborg Jun 30 @ 9:18 PM EDT

#sstlap stories are like Easter Eggs, they come up unexpectedly. My graphic novel discussion -> WWII -> Student stories of family involved

MrRoughton Jun 30 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: Over emote EVERYTHING in your stories, especially with middle schoolers. They are so easily tricked into caring! #sstlap

SofiaGeorgelos Jun 30 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@erik_palmer @scottmpetri So true!! Even when students are giving presentations they have to find ways to get audience to interact. #sstlap

Ryan7Read Jun 30 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: I always love it when Ss listen to old adventure series and then recreate them in the school yard and record their stories #sstlap

erik_palmer Jun 30 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@CHitch94 "This I Believe"-- I had my class do podcasts copying that format #sstlap

CHitch94 Jun 30 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@erik_palmer An ELA colleague has Ss do This I Believe essays. Should let her know about podcast option. #sstlap

dragonmark_101 Jun 30 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Does anyone integrate Storycorps? https://t.co/oPy1qyJAPT #sstlap

MrRoughton Jun 30 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: props help too, I love watching all their heads move in unison when I pick up a prop. (Yardsticks make great katanas.) #sstlap

mrterborg Jun 30 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@Americans2012 @scottmpetri Ss write lyrics around their own history or their own interests. #sstlap

CHitch94 Jun 30 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@dragonmark_101 I've shared some StoryCorps episodes & info about Thanksgiving interview but didn't mandate. #sstlap

I need to try this again. My Ss were not too receptive when I tried this. #sstlap https://t.co/t7oO71oiMS

CHitch94 Jun 30 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2) @ListenCurrent has audio stories curated by subject area. Great resource! #sstlap

mrterborg Jun 30 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@MrRoughton Is it a trick or do they really care and are afraid to show it? #sstlap

dragonmark_101 Jun 30 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@CHitch94 I used it in a 9/11 unit I made in one of my teaching classes, but its hard to know how they will actually work #sstlap

Americans2012 Jun 30 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@scottmpetri a2 the art of teaching comes with story telling &performance as @burgessdave said something wedon't Teach T in college #sstlap

mrterborg Jun 30 @ 9:21 PM EDT

scottmpetri Jun 30 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2 Students need to learn that obstacles to listening can be overcome. Put phone down. https://t.co/fWnfEgT1wD #sstlap

scottmpetri Jun 30 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Hi @CoyoteCoach20 Better late than never. Welcome #sstlap

MrRoughton Jun 30 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@mrterborg I assume there is trickery since often they are things even I don't really care about! (Sorry Kepler) #sstlap

erik_palmer Jun 30 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@kiddielitprof But only empowering if story is well-told... We have to teach kids how to do that #sstlap

mrterborg Jun 30 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Meems852 Jun 30 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A2 I love having story time with my students! They don't really get that in middle school too much! I try to do voices too! #sstlap

CHitch94 Jun 30 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A2) Maybe Ss could create & record children's audiobooks about favorite historical topics? #sstlap

SofiaGeorgelos Jun 30 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@erik_palmer @kiddielitprof Agree. My Ss struggle more with speaking than listening. Lst yr brought in socratic seminars - it helped #sstlap

CHitch94 Jun 30 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@Meems852 Yes. HS Ss like to be read to as well. ;) #sstlap

mrterborg Jun 30 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@MrRoughton Trickery, emotional manipulation, or simple Ss passion. I'll take it. (just don't tell my Ss) #sstlap

CoyoteCoach20 Jun 30 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A2 I loved using Socratic Seminars. Hearing everyone's thoughts/opinions seemed to keep engagement high. #sstlap

Americans2012 Jun 30 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@CHitch94 I had my SS create educational posters for yo get SS they that it was so cool! #sstlap

SofiaGeorgelos Jun 30 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@CHitch94 These can then be shared with lower grades in your district which build in an audience for them. #sstlap

scottmpetri Jun 30 @ 9:26 PM EDT

#sstlap Did Q3 appear? What feedback on oral communication helps build rapport with your Ss? https://t.co/5GAaf2Z8wY

@CHitch94 But a caution before the record: https://t.co/QtgHdjT78d #sstlap

MrRoughton Jun 30 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@Meems852 I love having them sit on the floor and do "circle time" when the story calls for it. They love how hokey it is. #sstlap

mrterborg Jun 30 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@scottmpetri They will, if we can engage them or force them ... #sstlap

CHitch94 Jun 30 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@erik_palmer Envision it as semester or course end project where you've worked on storytelling/effective spoken communication. #sstlap

MrLisekRPSA Jun 30 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@scottmpetri My sixth graders rap about how to find the rate of population growth. Most engaging lesson I have. #sstlap

mrterborg Jun 30 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@CoyoteCoach20 can u share more about those? #sstlap how dose it look like ?

erik_palmer Jun 30 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@SofiaGeorgelos @kiddielitprof Unfortunately, no one teaches them how to speak. We make them do it but don't teach how to #sstlap

Meems852 Jun 30 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@CHitch94 I tell my Ss history is like English b/c you get to hear super cool stories except it is even better b/c stories are true! #sstlap

scottmpetri Jun 30 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@MrRoughton @Meems852 My HS students say I'm not in kindergarten. I don't want to do your lame "feeling" circles #sstlap

PegGrafwallner Jun 30 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A2 Totally agree. But they can be overdone. As Inst. Coach/Rdg Spec., I encourage as a treat; not as routine #sstlap https://t.co/l7WBxyQLUB

CoyoteCoach20 Jun 30 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A2 I loved using Socratic Seminars. Hearing everyone's thoughts/opinions seemed to keep engagement high. #sstlap

CHitch94 Jun 30 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3) Had Ss establish expectations for effective oral communication/presentation. Tweak as needed during year. #sstlap

mrterborg Jun 30 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@historytechie If this doesn't work, use #primarysource images. Get them engaged and then link audio stories to topic #sstlap

jmadlin001 Jun 30 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@CHitch94 My Ss created children's books abt the U.S. Constitution, then read them to 4th graders. #sstlap

scottmpetri Jun 30 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@MrLisekRPSA Do you have any examples to share? Video? Pics? #sstlap

CwebbMrs Jun 30 @ 9:28 PM EDT

#sstlap Late sorry Cami Webb 5th grade McIntireElem FultonMo Im a dramatic person, LOVE performing for my Ss. Love the every eye moment!

Meems852 Jun 30 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@MrRoughton same here!! I read them an excerpt from Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England and sit in an circle! #sstlap

CoyoteCoach20 Jun 30 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3 Honest feedback is the best. Also, teaching general rules of conversation. Waiting turns, how to jump in, being respectful, etc #sstlap

mrterborg Jun 30 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@Meems852 Something I want to take a course in. I'm fluent from Discovery of America on. (Oh, Mike from MD EL LMS who forgot intro #sstlap

Meems852 Jun 30 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@MrRoughton It was pricelss being up close to hear and see their reactions to how dirty medieval towns were #sstlap

erik_palmer Jun 30 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@scottmpetri We give kids haphazard feedback. We have specific language for writing (punctuation, sentence struc...) but not for spk #sstlap

mrterborg Jun 30 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@DennisDill @Meems852 Yes. Err. No. Err. Just read to em anyways. Tell them stories too. Make them up. #sstlap

Meems852 Jun 30 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@DennisDill That's true! I still like hearing stories! #sstlap

mrterborg Jun 30 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@jmadlin001 @CHitch94 Have you done a #mysteryskype? You could do a #globalreadaloud with another class #sstlap

N_Davidson18 Jun 30 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3 we often do general feedback; Ss say what they found most effective from other presentations; ups their game next time #sstlap

erik_palmer Jun 30 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@CHitch94 Practical, workable expectations: https://t.co/od1wbZmTo8 #sstlap

jmadlin001 Jun 30 @ 9:31 PM EDT

CHitch94 Jun 30 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@mrterborg Love the idea of it but can't figure out how to make it work for asynch online course - unless it could be recorded. #sstlap

scottmpetri Jun 30 @ 9:32 PM EDT

Q4 What is the most boring content you have to teach ea yr? How can the #sstlap crew help you make it more interesting?

CwebbMrs Jun 30 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A2 #sstlap Storytelling is powerful and impactful but it needs to be shared that way. It needs to move you to move them. Feel it together

scottmpetri Jun 30 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A3 @erik_palmer Correct. This is why ACOVA and PVLEGS are so valuable to teachers. https://t.co/lDhxei02CW #sstlap

CHitch94 Jun 30 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@N_Davidson18 Yes - found Ss were generally open to constructive peer feedback - helps when they see peers so have comparison. #sstlap
