Everyone UP

In this activity the entire class participates in a response activity that gets everyone up and expects each child to participate.

Set it up:
1. Know what to ask

Use it:
1. Tell everyone in the class to stand up
2. Ask students to either share a response to something or ask review questions. No one sits until they answer a question.
3. With the first questions offer your reluctant or foundational learners an easy way out by calling on them first (notice how quickly the reluctant learners raise their hands!)

I don't know where I got this from, but I have been using this since I student taught. My principal recently emailed a list of activities and this is similar to something she credited to Brian Jenkins.
