Cool it down
 
 
Be a better listener
LET'S PLAY:

GET READY: Read "Be a better listener". Use the points mentioned there to make a list of Do's and Don'ts for good listening.
GET SET: Pick a crowded place such as your school's canteen during recess. Settle down at a table that gives you a close-up view of students chatting.

GO! Observe people. Using the table above, look for the do's and don'ts people commit when listening to one another. Jot down what you see. Stop when you have found one example for each of the eight do's and don'ts.

THINK ABOUT IT. In what ways did this activity help you to become a better listener?
