Instruction Tools
Is role playing an effective tool to use when a topics are introduce to students?
Sandra,
Role playing is a good activity. Usually, it works best after students have some content-specific learning under their belt. One exception may be a "before and after" scenario, where students do some role playing at the beginning, then repeat after the lesson is complete.

Are pop quizzes a good way to catch a students attention?
Tammy,
If we want to measure learning, one part of that is preparation. Personally, I would not use a pop quiz as an engagement tool, only an assessment tool.

I find in as I grow as an instructor I do a lot of role play to help my students finger out what I talking about or discussing with them
Robert,
Role playing can very helpful depending on the topic. Memory and retention is often inhanced when students are able to go through the motions.
