Depends on your idea of peer instruction. For me, it's a set of multiple
choice (conceptual) questions for a given topic. Private voting, then
discussing with each other to reach a consensus. Sometimes called
Think-Pair-Share.

Works well in my (high school) classes. Learning and grades have improve.
Positive feedback from my students. Very effective.
