The New Prompt lets you add an interactive slide to your Session that was not originally part of your presentation. ![Peary_Normal (Forward)](https://help.peardeck.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Peary_Normal%20(Forward).png?width=66&name=Peary_Normal%20(Forward).png)The New Prompt is perfect to use when you want students to re-answer a question and develop their thoughts. It's also handy when you've already started a presentation and a great question comes up during the discussion, or you want to spontaneously check in with your class. If you *haven't* started a presentation, but want to ask an interactive question, try [Pear Pop](https://help.peardeck.com/use-pear-pop-for-instant-engagement)! #### **How to ask a question with a new prompt ** 1. Start your lesson and choose *Instructor Paced Mode*. 2. [Invite students to join](https://help.peardeck.com/how-to-present-a-pear-deck#present) the presentation with the Join Code or Join Link. 3. Hover over the bottom of the slide to open the Navigation bar. 4. Click *New Prompt*. 5. Now you can add a new slide to the Session (please note that New Prompt slide templates cannot be edited at this time). Scroll right to see all of the options. 1. Select a pre-made prompt to ask a new question. ![Pear Pop, choose a prompt, I-1](https://help.peardeck.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Pear%20Pop%2c%20choose%20a%20prompt%2c%20I-1.png?width=291&name=Pear%20Pop%2c%20choose%20a%20prompt%2c%20I-1.png)![Pear Pop, choose a prompt, II-1](https://help.peardeck.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Pear%20Pop%2c%20choose%20a%20prompt%2c%20II-1.png?width=292&name=Pear%20Pop%2c%20choose%20a%20prompt%2c%20II-1.png) 2. Use the current slide to ask the same question. You can choose a different interactive response type.![New prompt, use current content, zoomed](https://help.peardeck.com/hs-fs/hubfs/New%20prompt%2c%20use%20current%20content%2c%20zoomed.png?width=584&name=New%20prompt%2c%20use%20current%20content%2c%20zoomed.png) 6.
