"In this strategic guide teachers will find practical ways to help students understand the subtle but significant aspects of our language such as justification, implied meaning, opinion, persuasion, and argument. Easy to use, all activities include a purpose, practical guidelines for implementation, ideas for extension, and recommendations for teacher and student reflection. Each activity correlates to key speaking and learning outcomes that are part of major curriculum guidelines. Evaluation techniques and a Resource Bank full of reproducible pages complement the easy-to-implement activities." "Speak, Listen, and Learn shows new and experienced teachers how to add passion to their teaching and make oral language a powerful part of classroom learning in grades four through twelve."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
