I believe this is chapter 7 blog

Listening to me is understanding what the person is telling you and comprehend what they are saying. The four types of listening are discriminative, aesthetic, efferent, and critical. I believe that we use these types of listening on a daily basis. In discriminative we basically pick or choose what we want to hear based on interest. I defiantly do this daily, because when my mom ask me to do something, I don't hear it, but if it pertains to shopping I hear it. Aesthetic is listening for enjoyment. I do this daily also, when i watch TV, I'm listening to what the people on TV are saying just for sheer enjoyment. Efferent, is listening to get information. I think we do this everyday because usually somebody you speak to throughout the day has something important to say, and it could be informative to you. Lastly is critical listening, this is listening carefully to instructions. We could use this daily while you are driving, but most of the time we use this type of listening at at school or in a work setting.
The most challenging part of this debate was actually listening to what the other people had to say and letting them actually finish before we jumped in and said what we had to. We do this daily when we talk to people, most of the time we aren't really listening to everything they are saying, we are just ready to say what we have to and get our opinion in. I believe I used all of them, because at times I was doing critical listening-where I had to be listening carefully to what they were saying. Then I was just listening for enjoyment(aesthetic), because I thought that it was funny how everyone was getting really into it. I did discriminative because some of the stuff wasn't that interesting. And efferent because some of the stuff both sides were saying was actually pretty informative.
The teacher talk I though was most important was positive encouragement and feedback. If you give positive encouragement it helps the children feel good about themselves and want to keep doing well.
