Omar is leading a weekly workshop series for his peers on how to be a successful student. Each week, he assigns a task for them to try and report back on next session. However, it seems like nobody is doing the task - whenever he leaves space in the session for sharing, nobody responds. You come to observe his session, and notice that when he describes the task, he says:

• Does that make sense?
• Do you have any questions?

 

Then, to start the next session, he says:

• Does anybody want to share?

 

How could Omar adjust the way he is asking his questions to improve his response rate? Explain your thinking and include examples of improved questions.
