We do something like this at our school (elementary) but, can also earn letters if they get complemented by another teacher or administrator. If another teacher comes in your room for whatever reason or you get a phone calls you’ll be amazed how quickly the students become silent and how patiently they’ll wait. If the visitor/teacher/administrator gives them a compliment then they get that extra letter immediately.

This is a great technique.
A teacher of mine did the exact same thing... not sure if it was for English or not. But it really does help.
I read one of my sisters books she just got called, The Wolf Pack Classroom Management Plan by Janis Gioia.
My sister is an elementary school teacher. She's starting a new school year in September (obviously) so she can't wait to use what she learned from this book.
I'm sure you are a high school teacher, it doesn't seem like you need any more ways to manage your students. But maybe you could pass along to other teachers... and I will stay tuned! Keep up the great teaching!
