Practice saying more with less.
Build a word and phrase bank, try recalling terms later, and use them in new examples. The aim is appropriate language, not impressive-sounding language.
FOR STUDENTS
You don’t need a perfect answer.

Begin with your assigned baseline
Answer from what you already know. Not knowing something is useful information about your starting point.
WHEN YOU ARE BEING ASSESSED
Be honest about your starting point.
You can say “I don’t know.” You should not have to learn an answer just to finish a baseline.
WHEN YOU ARE PRACTICING
Make room for questions.
“I don’t understand.” “Please rephrase.” “I think…” These are useful ways to keep a learning conversation going.
Give a concise answer to a fresh situation.
Practice applying terminology with a visible timer in a challenge round. Choose untimed practice when you want to focus on the idea first.
Keep your courses and feedback together.
My learning connects your activities, feedback, and vocabulary practice. Completing an activity and understanding a concept are shown as different things.
