Hot Seating is a strategy in which a character or characters, played by the teacher or a student, are interviewed by the rest of the group. This activity invites students to recount a specific event, explore motivation and multiple perspectives/experiences related to a theme, topic, event, or idea.
This drama strategy can be used for any book based activity in the classroom.

Hot seating is used in the classroom as a way for the
students to gather a better understanding of Kemeli and think about him in ways
they may not have considered while reading the story. The students will be
encouraged to think critically about the character in order to answer and
develop questions in an effective manner.
This strategy could be used where children are read a much more basic
level book and are put in the hot seat where educators begin by asking the
simple questions towards the “character” and cue cards can be created ahead of
time for students to refer to. Eventually students will begin to
understand and create their own questions to ask their peers.
