ACTIVE LISTENING TIPS<br />

Minimal encouragements<br />

Sounds made to let one<br />

person know the other is there<br />

and listening. Such as, “Oh?”,<br />

and “Really?” These little words<br />

and gestures encourage the<br />

speaker to continue talking.<br />

Paraphrasing<br />

A summary in your own<br />

words of what you were told.<br />

Usually, paraphrasing begins<br />

with the words, “Are you telling<br />

me…” or “Are you saying…”.<br />

Paraphrasing helps clarify what<br />

is being said and to let the<br />

person know she is understood.<br />

VARIATION OF HELLO GLOW WRITING ACTIVITY<br />

FOR HIGH SCHOOL<br />

When sharing of questionnaire is complete in GLOW group, ask<br />

girls to expand through free writing one of the statements on the<br />

questionnaire. Encourage them to choose a statement from the page for<br />

which they feel they have more to say. For example, if she would like to<br />

say more about her mother, or the story of her birth, or perhaps what she<br />

would like to learn how to do. The statement should resonate with her<br />

deeply enough as to generate a longer personal narrative.<br />

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES<br />

n Complete individual questionnaires<br />

n Review the handout on active listening tips<br />

n Share by reading aloud to GLOW group<br />

n Ask the girl sitting to the right of the reader to respond to her using<br />

one of the active listening tips (see handout)<br />

n Return to write more deeply on one of the questions<br />

n Share in GLOW group the extended narrative<br />

n Share within the group, incorporating group active listening.<br />

n Mentors can model deeper active listening at this point in the session.<br />

n Conclude with a GLOW box.<br />

Reflecting or mirroring asks for<br />

more input without guiding<br />

the direction of the GIRL’S thoughts.<br />

Emotional labeling<br />

Common phrases for you to<br />

use are, “You sound…”, “You<br />

seem…”, “I hear…” (emotion<br />

heard by you). You do not tell<br />

people how they are feeling,<br />

but how they sound to you as<br />

if they are feeling. Do not be<br />

concerned about making a mistake<br />

in labeling emotions. The<br />

speaker will correct you and<br />

will often appear grateful for<br />

the attempt. Be aware of missing<br />

emotions and listen for conflicts<br />

in the feelings expressed,<br />

especially if they appear inappropriate<br />

to the situation.<br />

Mirroring or reflecting<br />

This is the technique of<br />

repeating the last word or<br />

phrase and putting a question<br />

mark after it. This provides very<br />

exact responses because you are<br />

using the subject’s own words.<br />

Reflecting or mirroring asks for<br />

more input without guiding the<br />

direction of the girl’s thoughts<br />

and elicits information when<br />

you do not have enough to ask<br />

a pertinent question.<br />
