Objective: Students will actively ask questions during class to help themselves maintain focus and stay involved in the discussion.

Teacher Takeaways: When class content is lecture- or discussion-based, help students who tend to lose focus or drift off stay actively engaged by encouraging them to participate and ask questions. a) Have the student prepare a few questions during homework the night before to ask during a class discussion. b) Help the student set a participation goal, such as commenting or asking a question twice per class. c) Provide the student with feedback and reinforcement for participating or reaching their goal.
