_______ is the chair designated for the students to use during sharing period.

• A. Hot seat
• B. Chair of the group
• C. Listening post
• D. Spotlight chair

Answer: (A)

During sharing periods, the chair set aside for the student who is currently sharing is called the hot seat. This term signals that the student in that chair is the focus of attention, presenting ideas and answering questions while the others listen. It helps with turn-taking and oral practice because the student must articulate thoughts clearly in front of peers. Other terms like a listening post, chair of the group, or spotlight chair refer to different classroom roles or activities, whereas the hot seat is specifically about the student who is sharing at that moment.
