“I’ll always give you the first answer for free!”
That always seems to accelerate the
process of getting tables cleared, a pencil out and their undivided attention toward the front of the room in record time.
With dramatic pause and thirty
pencils poised to snag a freebie answer, I direct their attention to the top of
the page where the first question is:
NAME________________
"The first answer is: your name"
Varied responses:
Groan!
…Ha, Ha, I get it, Good one!
…And let me guess, the answer to the 2nd question is: Date?
...I don’t get it! (…from slow on the uptake group still looking at QUESTION #1)

Hi there!
I am a beginning teacher and I thought following your blog would be very insightful since you have so much experience in different classrooms as a sub.
I really got a kick reading this post of yours. I'm sure as a sub you might be administrating many tests and no better way to break the ice then to give students a free answer!
Stop by anytime and good luck in your new career!
Nice tip a like this. You would think they would catch on before too long?
You'd be surprised at how many papers handed in that have no name attached.
At least this way they will remember to put their name on the quiz.
