These techniques have multiple benefits: the instructor can easily and quickly
assess if students have really mastered the material (and plan to dedicate more
time to it, if necessary), and the process of measuring student understanding in
many cases is also practice for the material—often students do not actually learn
the material until asked to make use of it in assessments such as these. Finally,
the very nature of these assessments drives interactivity and brings several
benefits. Students are revived from their passivity of merely listening to a lecture
and instead become attentive and engaged, two prerequisites for effective
learning. These techniques are often perceived as “fun”, yet they are frequently
more effective than lectures at enabling student learning.
Not all techniques listed here will have universal appeal, with factors such as your
teaching style and personality influencing which choices may be right for you.
Instructor Action: Lecture
1. Picture Prompt – Show students an image with no explanation, and ask them to
identify/explain it, and justify their answers. Or ask students to write about it using terms
from lecture, or to name the processes and concepts shown. Also works well as group
activity. Do not give the “answer” until they have explored all options first.
2. Think Break – Ask a rhetorical question, and then allow 20 seconds for students to
think about the problem before you go on to explain. This technique encourages students
to take part in the problem-solving process even when discussion isn't feasible. Having
students write something down (while you write an answer also) helps assure that they
will in fact work on the problem.
3. Choral Response – Ask a one-word answer to the class at large; volume of answer will
suggest degree of comprehension. Very useful to “drill” new vocabulary words into
students.
4. Instructor Storytelling – Instructor illustrates a concept, idea, or principle with a real-
life application, model, or case-study.
5. Pass the Pointer – Place a complex, intricate, or detailed image on the screen and ask
for volunteers to temporarily borrow the laser pointer to identify key features or ask
questions about items they don’t understand.
6. Empty Outlines – Distribute a partially completed outline of today’s lecture and a ...

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
