Before beginning an activity, direct students to divide a page in their learning logs into two vertical columns. In the first column, students should record a series of teacher-identified words key to the discussion, lecture or activity about to occur. During the discussion, lecture, or activity, students should record ideas relevant to the key words. A ready-to-use Listening Response handout is available for download.
