A work-intensive but excellent way to get to know your students during the first week of school, shared by Heather Beiss, and created by Sarah VanDerWerf:
Basically, a name tent is a name tag for students to put on their desks, made of a piece of paper folded in half. However, VanDerWerf’s brilliant idea is using the inside of the name tag as an an anonymous set of weekly questions and feedback. You can collect them daily in a class folder, and distribute them back each day from the folder.
