Before this use icebreakers. Also give exercises or questions to small groups. When they don't answer at all go to close-ended questions, simple yes/no questions. - Team planning: make the decisions with the individuals before the standup so that during the standup there is no back and forth discussion and there is only communication and informing everyone of what is about to happen. - During an interactive session, write the question in the slides so that people who were daydreaming have the opportunity to jump back in Act 4: - [[Facilitating speech]] - [[Facilitation skills]] - [[Interactivity in a presentation]] - [[Presentation grading template]] - [[Overcoming nervousness]] - [[Dealing with obstacles]] Final project: [[Presentation - AI Agents vs AI Chat]]
