So this is totally something I stole. Why create the wheel when it's already been invented....or something like that.
Anyway, I have pink missing work logs in the front of my room for when students 'forget' to do their homework. So far I haven't had anyone do the walk of shame to the front of the room for one, but today is the first due date for homework so we shall see. I very rarely take up homework because I suck at getting through piles of things that need to be graded. I always walk through the room while the students are working on something or checking their answers and grade out of 20 on how much they attempted. To me, homework is practice so I'm not really looking for them to have it correct, but I can tell pretty quickly if they actually attempted the work. This is something I will have to keep up with though, but it will be an awesome tool when a parent is wondering why their child's grade is so low.
