Communication strategies need to be individualized and responsive to the protégé in the mentor-learner relationship. Two factors to consider include that the adult learner is (a) an individual who is a cultural being with a complex identity and a lifetime of experiences and (b) working in a specific early childhood educational program context with its own patterns of communication. Being effective in the mentoring process requires an intense interest in learning to understand another’s perspective and how that is similar or very different from your own.

In your group discussion work with your classmates, share your thoughts and discuss options to summarize the key components of the five elements below, referring to the text to support your descriptions. Additionally, as a group, create a plan for approaching each of these elements in a culturally respectful way. As a group, post your final responses with examples and cultural approach by the final day of the week.

  • Listening for understanding
  • Promoting reflection
  • Instructive feedback
  • Effective dispositions for teaching
  • Affirmations to support ongoing reflection

In this activity, you will use thesis statements as starting points to generate questions from which you can derive the main points for speeches.

Perform the following tasks:

Step 1: Review the information presented in the lesson that discusses using a thesis statement to determine the main points to include in a speech.
A well-constructed thesis statement raises a question in the mind of the audience. To generate the main points to include in your speech, identify the question and the potential answers.

Enter the thesis statement, question, and main points into your word processing document using the format in the example shown here.

Example:
Thesis Statement: The government should (or shouldn’t) provide health insurance coverage to all citizens.

Question: Why should the government provide health insurance coverage to all citizens?
Main Points:Health care is prohibitively expensive for citizens without health insurance.
The first question you are asked when you call most doctors’ offices in the United States is, “What type of insurance do you have?”
People without health insurance may be unable to get the health care they need.
