6. DYADS AND TRIADS (Questioning, Discussion, Collaboration)

Description: Students write closed and open questions and gain points by answering each other’s questions.

Application: This interactive lecture method is useful with any type of instructional content.

Process: During the first part of this three-part activity, have students listen to the lecture, taking careful notes. During the second part, direct each student to write a closed question on a card, followed by repeatedly forming dyads and answering each other’s questions. During the third part, instruct each student to write an open-ended question. Organize students into triads to select the best open-ended question for another group to answer for homework.
