INSTRUCTION: Television Stars is a motivating way to encourage students to talk. Students take turns being television stars, where they stand “inside” a pretend television and discuss the topic of the day. Teachers encourage students to add detail and speak fluently and loudly (to “turn up their volume” of their voices) so that others can hear. This helps to build students’ oral language by providing multiple opportunities for them to practice speaking over a diverse range of topics (RR, n.d.).
