Lately, my students have been really lazy about putting their names on their papers. It's extremely frustrating. To help with this, I have come up with 2 things to help.
1. In order to claim a no name paper, students get a sheet that says Oops, You forgot you have a name. Please write, "My name is _________ times." I fill in the number of times based on how many times they forget their name.
2. My favorite way is to take a highlighter and walk around the classroom once they have a sheet they are working on. If there is no name on their paper, I highlight the name line. This is a great visual reminder. It also becomes a goal for students to get their name on it before I get to them. I do this at the beginning of the school and usually get to stop because it becomes such a routine. Like everything else, sometimes it needs a comeback!
