HOMEWORK CHECKLIST

Our most successful students follow a homework checklist something like this:

Before I Begin:

• Choose a place where I can focus best and will not be disturbed.

• Have everything I need (pens, pencils, paper, reference books).

• Get a drink or snack.

• Write out a plan for the order of my assignments and estimated time for each.

• Turn off my phone, notifications and/or any apps that may distract me.

While I work:

• On reading assignments: annotate to help me remember what I read.

• On math assignments: show all of my work so I can easily go back and check for errors.

• Use subject specific checklists to check my work as a final step before finishing

• Check off each assignment as I finish it and put it in my back pack.

• Take stretch and water breaks (5 min after every 20 min of work)

• When finished go back to my planner and check off work that is either submitted online or have it in my back pack.
