- They are thinking about the lesson coming up.
- They can use the discussion board to improve the class discussion.
Those anticipatory set routines need to be consistent. It doesn't always have to be a discussion board, but the way they receive the prompt should be the same. Project it on the screen, make it an announcement in the LMS, just something consistent.
