1) Pass the chalk- provide a chalk or a soft toy,whoever has it must answer to your next question, and they pass it on to the students of their choice.
2) Students highlight key passages of the reading and there is silence until someone wants to read his or her out, and others follow. End with brief writing about what they learned from the sentences.
3) The half class lecture- divide the class in half and provide reading materials to one half. Lecture on that same material to the other half of the class. Than switch the groups and repeat, ending with a recap by pairing up members of opposite groups.
4) Tournament - divide the class into at least two groups and announce a competition for most points on a practice test. Let them study a topic together and then give that quiz,tallying points. After each round, let them study the next topic before quizzing again.the points shoul be carried over from round to round. The student impulse for competition will focus their engagement onto material itself.
5) Reflection-students write for one minute on a specific question. For example, what was the most important thing you learned today? Or ask about the most confusing point, instead. Best used at the end of the class session.
6) Goal ranking and matching- students rank their goals for the class, then instructor combines these with his or her own list. Useful before starting course, when constructing objectives together.
7) Drawing for understanding- students illustrate an abstract concept or idea. Comparing drawings around the room can clear up misconceptions.
