• Clear communication: A straightforward way for students to express their preferences and communicate their choices, giving them a sense of empowerment and confidence in their interactions, especially for our non-speaking students.

• Answering Questions: Yes/No visuals enable students to demonstrate their understanding of yes/no questions and respond appropriately/participate in learning.

RATING/REVIEW:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"EXCELLENT - research has proven that music assists in more effective learning! Cheers to YOU for producing this wonderful resource that will assist in students' learning! These chants will serve as pertinent 'visual reminders' when displayed in class, and assist the students to be more 'mindful' in the teaching/learning situation during the school day. Many thanks!"

Print, laminate, and hang these chants to your classroom walls or doors! Have your class learn these early into the school year, and they'll more easily transition between times of talking and no talking. I've provided tips and ideas for each one (there are 3, so the additional pages are guidance).

Other transition ideas: turn the light off then on again, or have a song played for 15-30 seconds so they know an activity is ending and that they need to clean up and listen up.

These chants are specifically telling the children what kind of voice they should use for the next activity, so this should be ADDED to current transitional things you do, not necessarily REPLACING current ones.

*GREAT FOR STUDENTS WITH COGNITIVE SPECIAL NEEDS OR ANXIETY*

Enhance team collaboration and communication with this AVID Partner Interview Introductions Form. This is a perfect icebreaker and team building activity where students have the opportunity to get to know each other while practicing public speaking skills. Simply print the Google Doc and give hard copies to students, or share the Google Doc with students electronically.

Interview introductions are a great way to break the ice with a new group of students. This excersize has them finding out about each other and then introducing the person they interviewed to the entire class or to smaller groups. It is a lot less threatening to talk about someone else rather than yourself!

Directions

• Divide your class into pairs.

• Each person interviews the other. The information gained forms a brief introduction speech they'll present to the class OR to smaller groups.

• Establish a time limit for the interviews. 10 minutes works well. Keep track of the time and call change at the halfway point, 5 minutes, to ensure both people get an opportunity to be interviewed and to interview.

• When students present the introduction may begin like this: "This is Mary and she was named after her mother..." and the students will go through each answer by presenting it like a speech.
