Step 3: Add Your Content

Next, it's time to play mastermind and conjure up some engaging prompts for your students. These could be questions, sentences to complete, or conversational phrases. Remember, with Short Respond cards, students have up to 30 seconds to articulate their responses, so keep it brief but engaging!

When you're satisfied, hit that 'Assign' button and send your activity off into the wild world of your classroom. Watch as your students engage, converse, and learn in real-time with immediate feedback.Voila! There you have it.
