Due in Two
My students have an assignment notebook and folder that they keep on their desks at all times. Papers that are unfinished go on the left side of the folder, and not-yet-completed assignments go on the right side. As soon as an assignment is given, everyone writes it down. The students have two days to complete each assignment, so when we write the assignment down, we also put the date it's due in the notebook and on the paper. If students do not have assignments completed on time, they must go to the noon study hall that day to finish it. They receive a lower grade because the assignment was not finished in time. The combination of the assignment notebook and folder, the regular due dates, and the consequences for late work has been very effective.
