Sometimes you
need to listen for a special purpose.
Your teacher
might ask you to listen for an extended period of time.
When might you be asked to listen?
* To hear a story on tape
* To listen to a story being read aloud
* To listen to a guest speaker
* To listen to a lecture from the teacher
Being a good
listener takes practice.
To be a good
listener you must:
* Stay in one place.
* Sit quietly.
* Pay attention.
* Think about what you are listening to.
After listening you may be asked to report on
what you heard. You may...
*
Write a response.
* Answer a question.
* Discuss with a partner or a group.
Remember:
