1) Participation Sticks
(Keep a checklist)
 * Have a cup with popsicle sticks with each students' names on them.
 * As you ask for responses to questions, pull one stick to decide who will answer.
 * Discretely place the sticks in piles to indicate whether the child comprehends the idea.

2) Think, Pair, Share

 * Give the students a question to think about independently.
 * Have them discuss with the student directly next to them.
 * Walk around as the students are discussing to monitor their comprehension and discussion points and topics
 * (Optional) Have the students share their thoughts with the whole group.
