# Active learning prompt bank

Read `learning-objectives-and-bloom-alignment` first.

## Prompts (pick 2–4 per session)
- **Predict** — "Before we derive X, what do you expect the sign of Y to be?"
- **Justify** — "Which assumption did we use in this step?"
- **Compare** — "How is this different from the lemma from Tuesday?"
- **Teach-back** — "Explain the algorithm to your partner as if they missed lecture."
- **Peer instruction** — MC conceptual question → vote → discuss → revote.

## Output
- A **prompt deck** tagged by Bloom level and topic.
- **Timing** notes (solo vs pair vs whole class).
- **Common failure modes** and follow-up probes.
