Worksheet Description

This worksheet, entitled “Listening Skills,” serves as an educational tool to deepen students’ understanding of communication and empathy. It starts with a space at the top for students to write their names, establishing a personal connection to the activity. The worksheet is structured with three distinct parts, each designed to prompt introspection and awareness about the act of listening. The first part asks the student to recall and reflect on a personal experience where they felt unheard, guiding them to write about how that experience made them feel. This question aims to build empathy by relating their own feelings to how others might feel when not listened to.

In the second section, students are encouraged to think about and describe the indicators that show someone is actively listening. This part of the worksheet serves to educate students on non-verbal cues and the importance of engagement in communication. The final task asks students to draw a picture of someone who is listening, which combines creative expression with the lesson’s objective. By illustrating this concept, students can visualize and better understand the importance of attentive behavior.
