Teaching Tip: Homework Notes

By: Laura Barker, Teacher

I have had problems with students telling me the reason why their homework isn´t done and their parents another. I devised a slip that takes up one fourth of a standard piece of paper. If a student doesn´t have his or her homework they must fill one of these notes out and turn it in when they were supposed to turn in their homework. On the slip it asks for name, date, title of subject, reason for not having homework, and a place for them to sign the paper. When parent teacher conferences come around, I can pull out their stack of homework notes and show them to the parent. It has also stopped that problem of “I know I turned it in.” I check the box to see if I got a note for that assignment and show it to them. You can also mark the notes after they do finally turn the assignment in. These notes don't take the place of the homework, they must still turn the assignment in, but it does show that the assignment was late.
