Verbal Call-and-Response
A verbal call-and-response is when the Teaching Artist (TA) says something aloud to the class to which students collectively respond. The goal of a call-and-response could be to get everyone’s attention, refocus the group, cue students, or help them process information and build understanding. (Read more about call-and-response here.)
Pre-plan the call-and-response before your program begins. Since students will be repeating this phrase over the course of the program, find a way to connect it to your curriculum, to your or the students’ cultural background(s), and/or find ways for students to respond verbally and physically.

She waits calmly for her turn with her hands in her lap.” When students say, “Lisa,” they should pretend to be like the Mona Lisa. It is helpful to keep a picture of her in the room throughout the residency to refer back to.
