In my class I have a giant jar. At the end of each lesson any student who wishes can grab a post it note and write a ‘put up’ for another class member based on the lesson. Eg. Tamara, I really loved your presentation on the role of theatre in society. Alternatively students can place a ‘grateful for..’ in the jar. Eg. Andrew, I am grateful for your contributions to our group today.
Posts are anonymous. Each class has different coloured post it notes. At the end of each term I empty the jar, sort out the posts and place them in their books when I collect them for marking. When they get their books back there will be a whole lot of love inside! The point of The Up Jar – to spread love and build community. It also reminds my students that they are more then just a mark. Trust me... they absolutely love it. Give it a go!!
