Strategy 3: Share questions ahead of time.

Why do this?

Students will have an opportunity to think through the topics for a class meeting beforehand. This provides students the chance to think through any thoughts, comments, or questions they have on the topic. Many students have different processing times--particularly in a multicultural classroom--so giving students time in class to think about a question before responding can help with this. In addition, providing questions can help students to gauge how well they understood a reading. This is especially useful for students whose first language may not be English, students unfamiliar with college-level readings, and students taking a course in a new discipline. Students will have a way to check their understanding and come to class even more prepared!

How do I do this?

When sharing readings with the class, attach questions you would like students to think about. Make it a regular practice to post a couple of questions for students to think about on Moodle or other frequently used course sites. In some cases, you can share your intention of including that reading. This will provide students with some useful background information as they are preparing for class. You can also specify if you want students to annotate or take notes on particular readings or sections of them.
