||  Social Studies || Teach students studying and note-taking skills. || Give the students an assignment for homework then administer a quiz based on their product. For example: Tell the students to define vocabulary words for homework. Rather than collecting the vocabulary words for a grade, give the students a quiz on the vocabulary word using their homework. The students use what they have produced. ||  All content areas. || || Do not assign a large number of homework problems for the sake of it, but rather assign specific problems to focus on specific weak areas. For example: Assigning problems 1, 11, 17 an 14 may be more appropriate than 1-25 odd. Also, have an expectation that they will be able to discuss the process they used to come up with the answer. || Alll content areas. || || Homework must be meaningful and engaging. Drill and kill (repetition that does not extend learning) serves no purpose. It is effectively a "show and tell" skill. It does not engage the student in higher order thinking or encourage application, synthesis, or analyses. ||  Science || Didn’t get it… review and try again || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> Reinforce homework, by allowing students to re-do homework assignments that had too many mistakes, or were just missing the goal. || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> Espanol || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> || <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> ||
