Whip

The Whip An active engagement technique

Procedures: 1. Give a prompt that you would like the students to respond to before, during or after If used with a reading assignment assign a certain task. For example: that you found interesting or important in your reading.
 * reading
 * watching a video
 * an activitiy
 * circle one word
 * underline one phrase
 * highlight one sentence

2. Set a method for responding (up and down or acrossrows) 3. Students will then only respond with the required prompt (one word - NO conversation) 4. If a student does not have something to say, they may say "skip" (Next time they will start!)

The Whip gives everyone a voice and a chance to participate in a non-threatening manner. media type="youtube" key="_zxj1MoVo5E" height="385" width="640" Hang on, it goes fast!
