presentation
I start my class with my presentation. It's pretty much about summarization of textbook. Students already read the chapter that I present in class and know about the content. So they usually do not have any questions. Just close the presentation without receiving questions? or can you suggest some solutions to make my students ask me questions?
Lisa,
this is a great strategy. Sometimes I'll prime the pump with: "I'll bet this is a question on your minds..." I find this can get them talking too.

I find if they don't ask questions, then I ask questions at the end to get a dialog rolling.
JungYun,
I would suggest crafting some really good thought-provoking statements or questions that will generate discussion & further questions from the students.
