How to, Definitions, Titles, What makes things work, Outcomes

•Encourage speculation and guessing

•Never give feedback immediately-accept all guesses

Listening Teams

•Grouping students to clarify materials into four groups:

Questioners, Agreers, Nay Sayers, and Example Givers

•After every lecture, ask every group based on their roles


Guided Note Taking

•Prepare handouts with the blanks to be submitted

Acting Out •Choose concept that can be acted out•Create large cards having the name of the concept•Have students to simulate

What’s My Line •Divide the class into 2 groups or more•Write on a slip of paper “I am (Karl Max/ Inflation/e=mc2, etc.)•Ask one group to be the mystery guest and others to have one panelist

•After finished, the other group writes their guessing on a piece of paper.


Never ask “Is there any questions?”

It never worksWhy not trying to….

•Clarify complex material (Would you explain the way to…?)•Compare the materials to other information (How is this different than…?)

•Challenge your own points of view (Why is it necessary to do this? Wouldn’t it lead to confusion?)

•Request for examples of the ideas discussed (Could you give me an example of…)

•Test the applicability of the material (How could I use this idea in real life?)
