6. THREE PART HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT (Reading, Writing, Feedback)
Description: The Three Part Homework Assignment technique guides teachers to be specific in homework assignment parameters in order for students to produce high quality homework.
Application: Use this procedure when homework includes a reading selection from the textbook.
Process: Preview textbook material, making sure it is relevant to the topic at hand. Include three parts to every homework assignment: the purpose for the reading, the way to approach the reading, and the manner in which the students will use the reading’s information. For example:
Tonight, read pp.230-240 and pp.255-260 in Chapter 12. The purpose for reading is to understand the causes of the American Revolution. As you read, draw a T-chart to keep track of the British perspective and the American perspective. Tomorrow, we are going to divide into two teams, take roles, and debate the reasons each side had for entering into war.
