- This discussion model keeps students engaged because they must pay attention to other students’ answers in case you call on them.
- When one student provides an incomplete answer, other students will often just start over and answer the question in a new way.
- Instead, instruct the second student to work from the first student’s response and build off of it.
- If the first student’s response was incorrect, have a student explain why the first response wasn’t correct.
- Students can even try to work with the incorrect answer to spin it in a direction that enables them to build it towards a correct answer.
- You can model this behavior by showing how you could build upon a student’s answer.
