You don't want to ask the student not to answer because he is the type of student who if you did that he would probably find some other way to be disruptive and then he wouldn't be paying attention at all. Plus, chances are that if he were not yelling out the answers, no one else would have. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would try something different and set up students into groups. I would make the activity like a game by giving students buzzers. I would ask students questions and the first student who has it would push their buzzer (rather than yelling out). I would emphasize to students to first discuss with their group before pushing the buzzer.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Seeing as if the one student weren't yelling out answers no one else would participate, a game would probably be the best option. I would create a game such as the one suggested with buzzers this way it is a group activity, they can take turns, the answers are still being reviewed, and it gets all students involved.
