need help with AVA!!!

Thinking about my simulated teaching again, I feel that I need to do some changes to it. I am still not satisfied with my set induction; it’s too lame for my students. Showing two pictures and expecting my students to get interest in the lesson is very much normal. I would like to do something different. I think it will be better if I change it to question based. Rather than showing a picture which might distract the students as they will get excited, I could start by using questions which are related to students.

Before I plan on what are the questions to ask to students, I would like to know whether I can use questions as my set induction. Will my marks be deducted as I don’t use any AVA throughout my lesson? Is AVA a must in a lesson? How important is AVA? Except for pictures, videos and music, is there any other AVA that can be used in classroom? These are the question that I keep on asking myself regarding simulated teaching.

I think I can find the answers for these questions if I go online and search for examples of set induction. I could just surf websites for TESL and TEFL resources to get ideas and to know what set inductions that can be used in lessons. Although I could find out for myself about set inductions on the net, I still would like to have input from someone. As lots of websites are created by westerners, I cannot be sure whether it is applicable in Malaysian context. So I would like to know from someone who is experienced in Malaysian education system and school to give me input about set inductions.
