Selective Attention
Students are apt to do many things in class that you do not approve of. You can go crazy trying to respond to everything. Some of these things can be ignored without negative consequences. Save your energy for those things that have to be attended to.
Saving Students Work
Provide a file drawer in which you have a folder for each student in your class. Each student can file writing projects and important graded assignments in his or her folder. Encourage students to discard unneeded materials so that the folders do not become overly bulky.
