  Case: One student answers all the questions
I have one class a day where a student answers every question I ask. I oftentimes wait to see if others know the answer but they simply expect him to raise his hand and answer so they never do themselves. Many times I tell the class that someone else must answer but I do not want to do this for the entire semester, how can I encourage more participation out of the others and teach the other student about self-control.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If the reason that the other students are not participating is solely that they expect the other student to answer, a solution could be having students working individually or as a small group to answer the question. It might be that there are other reasons for lack of participation and finding them out can help you shape your solution. I think it could also be helpful to give the student who answers all the questions some method to individually answer them so that they are still able to engage.

Comments: I like this idea and it could definitely work in some situations and solve that problem, but there are also some activities that should be done as a whole class and this will probably not change what group discussions look like unless another solution is also implemented.
