That’s what we have to avoid!

The fastest way to build interest is to get

students participating and involved. .

ESSENTIAL METHODS FOR INCREASING STUDENT PARTICIPATION

Choral Responses

Rapid Individual Turns

Quiet group Responses

Written group Responses

Random turns for individuals

Small-Group Short Responses

Small-Group long Responses

Partner Responses

CHORAL RESPONSES The teacher gives a signal to the students, and

everyone responds in unison.

RAPID INDIVIDUAL TURNS After everyone has responded chorally, quickly check

to see if individuals were listening by asking them the same questions. This ensures that everyone is attending.

QUIET GROUP RESPONSES The teacher asks questions and the students write

down their answers on a piece of personal chalkboard or on a sheet of paper and turn it upside down on their desk.

SMALL-GROUP SHORT RESPONSES

SMALL-GROUP LONG RESPONSES

PARTNER RESPONSES(AKA,DYADS, TRIADS)

Three things give the student the possibility of surpassing his

teacher: ask a lot of questions, remember the

answers, teach.
