To keep them listening
If they know they will be asked for a response in a few minutes, they will pay more attention
These can be low stakes or even no stakesInsert a “question” slide every 5 – 8 or so
It almost becomes a game for them to listen, so they get the answer right

Discussion Generators
Have you ever asked a question and… Got nothing in response?
Sometimes, students don’t respond simply because they don’t want to be wrong or alone
But if they see there are 8 others who think the same way…
Suddenly, they are willing to talk in class

Prep for Final Review Class

horse” progress barsAt the end, you have a chart – immediately –
showing which questions were tough, and which were easier
Adjust the final exam review class based on this information
