Reminders on Questioning
When presenting a question to the class make sure that all students have an opportunity to reflect on what it is that you are trying to accomplish. Before calling on someone to respond give them all ample time to digest your question, let them turn and talk, think about it, or even look it up if necessary.
Wait time should be anywhere from 3 to 5 seconds when a student/group is presented with a question. Let them think about their responses but do not give them the answers. It is always appropriate to phone a friend when a person needs assistance.
