Framing Questions with a connection to what a student is currently experiencing gets a better response than general questions.
I give examples that may be playing out in their lives and that usually activates their interest. I then can proceed to the lessons
and how that dovetails with their thinking.
In Art History there is a better response from the students if I can relate events from the past to current events to spike their interest
in art of the past as related to that time in history. Then I can explore the development of style with content.
To get the student activated I add questions that require opinion, then we can proceed to academic evaluation of the material
The students must be made to feel that teir questions add to the lecture.

The motivation of students I find, is to connect with wht interets them and attach it to the subjects being taught. I find that students have more interest in the subject when I can show them the necessity of this knowledge and how it will enhance their lives.
Taking the material and connecting it to the world beyond the classroom has great rewards.
