I started taking attendance this way last year. I post an attendance question on the board when students enter the room. When I call their name, they respond with an answer to the question instead of the classic "here". I enjoy this activity very much and it gives you some insight to your students. An exammple question would be: "If you could have any super power, what would it be?" I tried to make the questions more complex as the school year goes by. You do not have to use the questions in order, or even use all of them. I just got most of the work done for you here, and hope that you enjoy my rejuvinating version of attendance.

I'm using this for oral language topics and it's working really well! I just extend the questions a little by adding a why or something onto them. Thanks :)

Wonderful questions! Thanks. My students love the variety. Much better than just saying "here"

Great idea for taking attendance!

I'll have to adapt this for younger kids, but it's great.

What fun! Plan on adapting some for journal entries. Also easily adaptable for all age levels, grade levels and cognitive levels.

I think this will be handy!

loved the questions that are essentialy quiz questions- I have only ever used opinion questions- tried name a city in the world with my class yesterday and it was fascinating to see how many kids could not think of a single city!

Both my class and I are enjoying the novel way of marking attendance and finding out things about each other.

Great to use to start off your day or for journal writing. It will also provide thoughts for great class discussions.

Love the idea! I was looking for something to start off the day and this will be great!Thanks!

Good idea

Worth every penny. Wwell done and HIGHLY recommended for busy teachers who want to include something creative every day.

This comes out microscopic just like the preview-it is A WASTE of $1.00 because you cannot read it once you pay for it just like you can't read it on the preview!

I wish you would have let me know that you were having trouble BEFORE you left me negative feedback. I would have been happy to work with you and get this mistake corrected. This particular item is downloaded by users several times a week with no problems. I am sorry that you experienced an incorrect download, but I am sure that is something we could have figured out. If you would like to remove your negative feedback and work with me on getting you the correct version of the document (I think you probably downloaded the preview), I would be happy to do that for you. This has been an excellent instructional tool that my students look forward to daily. I have listed it at the low price of $1.00 because I want others to be able to use it with very little out of pocket expense. You can email me at nymoon76@hotmail.com if you would like to discuss this further and work it out.

Excellent activity to establish rapport with students without taking up too much instructional time.

This is very unique, Thanks

I like the idea behind this resource and am going to try it this semester with a grade ten applied class. I think it may help me better know my quiet Aboriginal students who do no demand attention.

Super idea for taking attendance!
August 22, 2008
Help
How long does this take if you do it each day? I love the idea! My classes are short, about 50 minutes long so I'm wondering how I could work it in.
August 6, 2010
Hi there! My classes are also 50 minutes long and I just do it really quick (about three minutes) while I have another student check homework. I hope this helps!

Aah, I see your earlier response to the same question. For the preview, you should include a subset of the material (say, 5-10 lines), not shrink the whole document down to unreadable size. Seeing that the document indeed contains 3 pages of (unknown) items does not inspire me to buy it. Jim
December 3, 2009
Thank you for the advice, I will look into creating a new preview for that item.
December 3, 2009
The preview is unreadable, font size is too tiny. What's the problem? Thanks, Jim
