Asking whole group questions"Everybody" & "Anybody"
I tell the students when I say "anybody" you don't have to put up your hand. You can just say the answer and the first one to correctly answer gets credit. BUT, students must wait for the magic word "anybody". I use it only occasionally, and only when it suits the lesson. If I say "everybody" then they have to say they the answer in unison. This avoids the "put up your hand to answer" way to answer a question, and gives students some freedom and control of the lesson which they like. -A.B. Daley Educator (effective strategy picked up from another educator) Think, Pair, Share
First: "I'm going to ask you a question and I want you to put the answer in your head." (For younger students, I have them put their finger on their head). Next: "Turn and Talk to a partner about your answer" Finally: "Raise your hand if you'd like to share your thoughts/ answer" Fishbowl
Fishbowl activities force participants to listen actively to the experiences and perspectives of a specific group of people. A student fishbowl gives educators an opportunity to hear the experiences, ideas, and feedback of current students while giving the students an opportunity to be active in the dialogue on educational equity.
