Listening

I was in fifth grade classrooms and it was great listening to questions and comments that really made students think- corresponded with common core standards as well. One question was "What type of media is this?" That is not a routine question that we have typically asked students, and they had to think for a minute about it. Diverse media and formats is part of fifth grade standards, but really it starts all the way down with our preschoolers using the iPads. There are so many different options for media. Consider that question, and consider asking your students as well.

This video is a short snippet of videos that PBS has aired recently regarding digital media. As you scroll down there are other options for videos to watch that have further ideas and topics for reflection:

We had a great staff meeting. One comment that came up was teaching students how to listen. Here are two articles that might give you an idea of something you could try in your classroom:
