Staying on topic By: Heather Byrge

Staying on topic means that my friend and I talk about the same thing

Sometimes I have a hard time talking with my friends.

I can hear them talking to me but I don’t know what to do.

I can have fun talking with my friends if I follow these simple rules.

First, I look at my friend who is talking to me.

Second, I listen to what my friend is saying.

Third, I need to find out what my friend is talking about.

If your friend is talking about his dog then should you ask him a question about his dog or the school?

The answer is DOG. I should talk about dogs if my friend is talking about dogs.

My friends will be happy if I stay on topic.

Practice, practice, practice Ryan you have many friends here at McClure. Pick a student who you would like to talk to. Review this PowerPoint at home and with me (Mrs.Byrge). Enjoy talking to your friends!
