This document discusses learning competencies related to listening skills. It provides examples of inferring meaning from spoken language and restating ideas in one's own words. The document also contains a short passage about developing character through difficult experiences. Learners are asked to recall a favorite superhero and its admirable traits. They will listen to a song and write down lines that catch their attention, then discuss the meaning with a partner. The document defines paraphrasing as expressing ideas from another's work using one's own words to avoid plagiarism. It provides an example of paraphrasing a quote from Harry Potter. Learners are then assessed on listening again to a song and paraphrasing two lines they like.
