Six-step approach
1. Pre-teach
The content and the method of the responding questions must be taught.
Teaching the rubric of the exam.
2. Get attention
Instructions should include reminders of the structure and rubric, time for the exam, what to do when the teacher stops talking, and what to do when the exam is over
3. Instruct step by step
4. Check understanding
Students didn’t reply doesn’t mean they understand
5. Summarize
6. Start, finish
Give specific instructions for the start and finish of the exam
Bad Examples

2. Distracts from learning assessment
3. Create stress
