I recently read about a teacher who gives choices for homework assignments and calls it #TakeAwayHmk. Instead of giving everyone the same homework assignment, students are given a choice of assignments and pick from them. (See below for more information about "unhomework" and #takeawayhmk). I think this is a very interesting idea, and wonder how my students would feel about this? Sometimes, when given choices in the classroom, I see some kids struggle with that. I also see other kids who love it. What sort of assignments would you want to do for homework? My biggest complaint about homework is dealing with the kids who don't do it. Then, it becomes MY homework because I have to go to the parents next. So, my question is, if I decided to try this out, what sort of homework assignments interest you? What do you want to do for #takeawayHW or "unhomework"? Keep in mind, no homework, is not an option. You HAVE to choose something!
