No Post This Week?

I don't know if there will be a prompt, but I had a question I wanted to pose to everyone. What are you doing for your TBA day? I know we might talk about this in class, but I just wanted to start brainstorming.

I was thinking about having a discussion question day. Most of my students have not done any, or have done one or two and the semester is winding down. I had a couple of them ask me about them and how to get them done before the semseter ends. So I thought that day could be used where everyone could come with as many questions as they want from our reading. I'll call on them and they will get credit for as many as we get to. That way some of my students who have already asked a bunch can finish off that requirement that day, and others who don't have any questions can get some under their belts to catch up. I think I will collect them when I call on them that way they won't turn in six, but they only asked two.

What do you guys think? I'm somewhat concerned about it working since my class sometimes refuses to discuss and instead just stares. But it might be a way to help my students out.

What are you guys thinking of doing?
