Do your students really never have homework?
I have some students that beg for homework.
I love this idea of yours, but I feel that it would bind me to never be able to give my students homework. Their homework is usually just to read of one the stories we’ve done in class to one of their parents.
Annemarie don’t forget – there are no rules. The homework you give is awesome. Not giving homework is awesome as well. All we need to do is continue to align with best practices in language acquisition. On the pro-homework side, Nathan has given us this great post from awhile back:

Now, that is homework worth giving in CI based classes!
And there is this post as well on this topic:

As long as we remember to keep our students’ best interests at heart, and give them things to do, in class or out, that have value and real purpose and help them to feel good about themselves, and honor them and not burden them, then we are doing the right thing. For some of us that means giving homework, for others it means not giving homework.
Oh, I love this list of different kinds of hw assignments! This is great stuff. Gracias-Merci. I have this one six grader that keeps handing me free writes she does on her own at home! I should somehow give her extra credit for this-but these students who want and will do extra credit are the students who are already receiving an A. My 6th graders are phenomenal this year. They love singing in Spanish and I’m continually blown away by the fact that they will sing Cielito Lindo with me at 8:30 on a Monday morning. I love them.
