At the beginning of last year, I purchased a large lime green hardback book from Smiggle www.smiggle.co.nz which is a chain that sells stationery that the girls love. Tied on to it is a pen with different coloured ink. Students are invited to make suggestions on one page, and the staff replies on the opposite. Once the book has been ordered, I put a sticker next to the title, so the student knows it is coming. As a reward, the student who is the first to suggest the book gets to read it first – before the staff too! It has been incredibly successful, and students often check the book for progress, and show their friends the comments and stickers, which I got from the $2 Shop. Even the Y12 and 13s love the stickers! A simple but effective method, and an easy way to track suggestions.
I agree, a book is a good way to keep a record, and often it is interesting for students to read what others have written. Replying to each suggestion is important and keeps the dialogue going... Here is a photo of a Suggestions book at Paihia Primary School...
