THE ULTIMATE ATTENDANCE QUESTION LIST Brought to you by @TheTownieTeacher
THE ULTIMATE ATTENDANCE QUESTION LIST Brought to you by @TheTownieTeacher
What are attendance questions? Attendance questions are a community building classroom routine where instead of calling students’ names and having them respond “here”, you ask students a daily question to get to know them and their personal interests.
How does the routine work? Once the bell rings, students find their seats and take out their homework and any materials for that day. I announce the daily attendance question. Then, I call out students’ names alphabetically and they respond quickly with their answer.
Ex: If the question was “Ketchup or mustard?”, I would call the name, “Ashley”, and they would respond, “Ketchup”, and so on and so forth.
If students don’t wish to participate for that particular question, they can say “pass” or “I don’t know”. The routine takes about 2-4 minutes total (depending on class size/discussion).
What do you do with their responses? Students respond verbally. I don’t have them write them down or submit them electronically. I don’t officially “do” anything with their responses or even keep track of them. It is just a great way to start each class and I get to hear every single student’s voice before the class period officially begins.
