putforth the mental effort to think of the answer themselves. Wait a long time, so that studentsrealize that class will not continue until they provide an answer.ii. Think-pair-share. This is one of the most basic ACL techniques. Pose a question; havestudents think about it for a short period of time. Then, ask them to discuss it with a neighbor.After they have a few moments to do this, have one or more of the groups share their answerwith the class.20 Timmerman and Lindgard32 found that mostly-introverted CS students wereunprepared for impromptu discussions of the controversial questions they encountered insocietal-issue (cf. ethics in computing) classes. They had better success by telling the studentsthe questions in advance.iii. Short list
