How it works

The first of five questions

“One word for how today feels so far.”

The other four questions are in the slides, one for each morning.

1
Put the question up.

Have the day’s slide on the board before the students come in. When you start, answer the question yourself in a few words, so that no student has to go first.

2
Take the register as normal.

Instead of saying “here”, each student answers the question in a word or two. Say on the first morning that “here” is always a fine answer, so that nobody is put on the spot.

3
Keep going at the usual pace.

If a student says something worth talking about, come back to it at the end, once the register is in.
