Weaving the Listening Strand: Categorizing problems and solutions

Section role: supports the class debrief in the Weaving the Listening Strand section while the teacher guides students to categorize the flower map findings. Slides: (1) Title — 'Weaving Our Listening Strand'; (2) The Flower Map Debrief — bullets: review student discoveries, group 'thieves' into two main types; (3) External Distractions — bullets: defining noise and movement as external barriers, examples like pencil tapping; (4) Internal Distractions — bullets: defining wandering thoughts and emotions as internal barriers; (5) Active Listening Strategies — bullets: introduction to the SLANT method (Sit up, Listen, Ask questions, Nod, Track the speaker); (6) Key Vocabulary — bullets: definitions for 'Distraction' and 'Reflection'; (7) Weaving the Strand — visual representation of strategies combining into a strong strand, building on the flower challenge and setting up the individual growth plan. Closing slide: 'Which listening strategy will you weave into your day today?' — hands control back to the teacher for individual goal setting.
