Vague or Reflective?

When asking questions related to ANY topic - I try to form them in such a manner so that there is no BLACK OR WHITE answer. With an appropiate pause and the right inflection, the "what if" is heard even if it not spoken. They students themselves ask for more information about the conditions of the question so they can formulate an answer. These responses insure and identify exactly which students have been drawn into the discussion as well as exposing those that are not engaged.

To the most casual of users the topic and question response lag time can sometimes be both shallow and pedantic.

Great technique. Definately draws attention. You can almost here the switch go on when the light bulb finally lights up. Sometimes when a student reacts and asks the question you can present it to the class for reactive answers.

A very effective technique Albert!
