Teachers helping teachers: A collection of instructional aids for teaching P-12 speaking, listening, and media literacy.

The Speaking and Listening Assessment Project collects lesson plans and activities from P-12 teachers for the purpose of sharing them with you.

We've divided this site into three major sections:

The first is Course and Unit Outlines. We have created some unit outlines for grade P-2 teachers to incorporate speaking and listening skills in their classrooms. Grade 3-6 teachers will find unit outlines to help them build speaking and listening units into their classes. Grade 7-12 teachers are provided with both full semester and unit outlines to incorporate from one to ten different major units.

The second section is Lesson Plans, Activities, and Examples. Teachers have contributed a wide variety of content ideas and activities to use in your classes. P-2 teachers and grade 3-6 teachers will find two plans each and grade 7-12 teachers have 10 plans.

The third section deals with Rubrics. Project and workshop participants have created formative assessment style speaking rubrics for pre-school to advanced high school presentations. These rubrics coordinate with each other and are cumulative in nature. We recommend starting with the beginning rubrics for your grade level and progressing to the more advanced rubrics.
