Questioning Techniques

Hi Karen - your review or wrap-up at the end of class is excellent! I also like that you don't just ask one question of a student if they do not answer correctly. From what you describe, you ask other questions that are more likely be able to answer, thus letting them end on a successful note. Well done! Best Wishes - Susan
