Types of homework: L Learning or revising information that will be tested in class Example: Learn the first ten definitions from your knowledge organiser Learning homework won’t be marked separately by the teacher, but will be tested in class to ensure that content has been learned R Preparing for the next lesson by reading or researching Example: Watch a YouTube video and make notes on photosynthesis Research homework is essential preparation for the next lesson – pupils are unlikely to be successful in their learning if they don’t complete it A Application or practice of a skill that’s been learned in class Example: Use the method we learned to answer this exam question Application homework will be marked in the same way as classwork, with either a grade OR strengths and actions from the teacher E Extending learning through a challenging or creative project Example: Create a model which you can use to teach someone about volcanoes Depending on the project, extension homework might be marked by peer-assessment, an effort grade or with detailed teacher feedback. If this type of homework takes several weeks to complete, pupils can expect feedback at different points along the way too.
