Common Core Standards
Grade 5
The fifth grade Common Core Standards for Speaking & Listening can be summed up by the famous words of Bill and Ted: Be excellent to each other, dudes.
Basically, these standards center around two objectives: (1) improving individual students' ability to create a positive classroom environment, and (2) improving their ability to present material to a group in the form of speeches and multimedia presentations.
That might not seem like much, but these are the social skills that your students will be using on a daily basis in their future schooling and careers.
Because these standards deal with social and presentation skills, however, your mileage will vary a great deal by individual students. Some students will get it right away. Others might need to build up confidence before they can comfortably interact with large groups. In both instances, show your students support in a patient, compassionate fashion. It'll go a long way.
