Stopping to ask questions, not only gives you a break from instruction, it gives the students a moment to pause and think about what you have presented.
1. Make sure your questions will assess their understanding of what's been presented
2. They aren't overly complicated.
3. The same student isn't always responding. Or if you do have an eager beaver, ask, does everyone agree, and you will see their response in their facial expresion, let the discussion continue if applicable.
