A great question to pose – perhaps a thunk!
How It Works:
Pose – the teacher poses a difficult question to the class.
Pause – the teacher then waits, giving students thinking time. 10 seconds is enough. be brave and wait longer if you can!
Pounce – the teacher then insists on no hands up and pounces on a student for as response.
Bounce – the teacher or student then bounces the ideas to another student in the class. There is no need for teacher evaluation. The Bounce student should respond to what the previous student has said.
Variations:
Keep bouncing!

Good job!
I think the Pause phase should/could also be a discussion in pairs/groups so that the teacher is confident that each and every student is able to give a response when pounced on.
The teachers I am working with love the strategy and there is no doubt that engagement is increased leading to improved progress.
