Questioning: thinking, not answers

Three things in class: get them doing, surface misunderstanding, make feedback specific. Being eloquent is not the goal.

Task: Questions meet silence or one eager hand.

[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
   - the question and difficulty
   - class atmosphere
   - levels
   - time
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- warm up with a closed question, then open
- wait five seconds in silence
- split big questions into two or three
- state that answers may be wrong before calling on someone

[Process]
1. Read the room before following the plan
2. Surface misunderstanding with questions
3. Feedback on behaviour and next step, never on the person
4. Separate tasks by level
5. Leave two minutes for their recap

[Output]
Reading the room, questions, feedback, tiers, close.

[Do not]
- Never embarrass anyone
- Never 'this is so simple'
- Do not skip practice to keep pace
- 'Any questions' is not interaction
