Remember to Write Your Name!

Teachers all over the world are familiar with the frustration of discovering a sample of student work without a name on it. Then comes the detective work of trying to discover who the nameless worksheet belongs to. Such a waste of time for extremely time-poor teachers!

Teach Starter is here to end these woes with our “Remember to Write Your Name” poster. It features the following simple rhyme:

The first thing I do is always the same,
I pick up my pencil and write my name!

Not only will this poster minimise the number of nameless worksheets to deal with, it will also promote good work habits among your students. By consistently starting their work by writing their name, students develop a sense of ownership, accountability and organisation.

This poster downloads as a full-colour PDF or editable Google Slides file.
