Planning is such an imperative part of anybody's profession. Just like writers need to plan a story and have marketing plans to sell their work, educators constantly must have various kinds of attention grabbing activities and especially in the question answer part of session.

So the further introduced are some of the attention catching activities that make them attentive in the class at the time of question answer part of the session. The educator use different types of activities to call students to answer the questions of the lesson so all the students in the class can be equally attentive and can get equal chance to represent themselves to answer the questions.

Use a pick name bowl activity to keep Students Thinking: Write each student's name on a chit and put the chits in a cup. To keep students on their toes, pull a random chit to choose someone to speak or answer a question. At the beginning of using your pick name bowl, prepare a range of questions, some of which all your students can successfully answer. This strategy allows the bottom third of your class to get involved and answer questions without being put on the spot.

Cold-calling is a productive activity to call on students who haven't volunteered to answer the question.

The next effective activity is to pick out the students by their roll numbers so that each and every learner can be attentive during the question answer session. And all the students get equal chance to participate.

The other activity is to call any particular student’s name and the student setting on his/her left side has to answer the question the educator is going to ask. So every student can be alert and attentive for their turn.

It’s very important to encourage the students by saying very good, excellent, perfect, awesome, etc. that encourage all the students to take part in the activity.

Are there any other ideas or activities you use for better student engagement at the time of question answer session? Please share them in the comments space below.
