What would you do to get the student to open up and start talking? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) What I would do in this situation is talk to them privately and try to get to know them. Doing an activity that does not require a lot of talking first might get the student comfortable enough to talk to you because talking is not expected. An activity like this could be a puzzle or coloring. After this, you could do an activity that requires some collaboration like a matching game or building something together. This might get her to open up and maybe share what would make her or him more willing to communicate with their peers.
