Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Identify the physical behaviors expected during a partner talk (eye contact, listening posture, taking turns speaking).
Explain, in their own words, how to talk to and listen to a partner respectfully.

Teaching tips

Use the completed chart to introduce partner-talk expectations, then have students fill in the two blank copies from memory as a quick check.
Display a printed copy on a reading bulletin board, or have students glue a smaller copy into their interactive reading notebooks for a personal reference.
Model each of the five behaviors physically (nodding, eye contact, hands in lap, knees touching) while introducing the chart, since these are largely nonverbal expectations.

Skills covered

Active listening posture — students learn nonverbal listening behaviors such as nodding and eye contact.
Turn-taking in conversation — students practice letting one partner speak at a time.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How do the two extra charts differ from the first?

They use the identical title and prompt as the completed chart, but leave the five expectation descriptions blank so students can fill them in themselves.
