Homework

The amount of homework you assign will depend on the amount of time you can realistically expect your students to spend doing it. Assign as homework work that students do at different speeds and generally do alone. For example, a lot of reading and writing can be done outside of class. If a particular assignment is crucial to the next day's activities, warn students in advance. If you do not, you may find yourself with a large group of unprepared students and a lesson you can't teach. Assign homework before students are packing up to leave, making sure that there is enough time for them to ask questions.
