Be ready to listen

• before class, read the information your teacher will discuss so you have a basic understanding of the topic and so you can identify any new information that's not available in your text book
• to keep focused, sit where you are least likely to be distracted, if possible, and where you can make periodic eye contact with your teacher

Listen for the bigger ideas

• listen for ideas that may challenge what you already know about a subject - exploring a new idea can give you a different perspective on the subject and provide a better understanding

Understand what you're hearing

• think about what's been said and try to rephrase it in your own words. if you can't, then ask questions until you can
• don't be afraid or embarrassed to ask questions. nobody will ask questions for you and it's your responsibility to make sure you understand the information

Evaluate the information

• determine what's important and what's not and take notes on what you'll need to know later
• expand upon what your teacher says and make note of your own observations and conclusions based on what you already know about the subject

    

'Listen' and 'silent' have the exact same letters. Coincidence?
