This picture pretty much says it all! Not only is this gift functional, but it also takes up one of your bulletin boards and can help add a little color to your walls! Unless you have no imagination and always copy your assignments and notes on boring white xerox paper! To each their own, but I'm just sayin', you gotta live a little!
There is nothing more frustrating than grading papers with no names, for you AND for the students who come up complaining about a "zero" or a missing assignment that they SWEAR they turned in and yet did not get credit for. Sure enough, it's usually that they did not put their name on their paper. The teacher I stole this from promised me she would probably have students that would increase their grade by a whole letter if they just claimed their papers. The "No Name Board" is just a good way to bring attention to the amount of assignments that do not have a name and therefore did not receive credit and hopefully encourage the students to come up and check it to see if they may be one of the missing persons.
Simple and functional. The best kinds of GIFTS.
