What makes a speaking and listening activity feel worth it—not just a time-filler or performance? How do we shift classroom talk from ‘just answering questions’ to real thinking and engagement?

Hi everyone...it seems you cannot directly comment on another's video post. Instead, add a new post using the plus button and address the person in a new post under the same thread. Follow Cori's lead in the "Why won't they just talk?!" column.
