Re: Helping students to complete their work prior to night before

[laddybug3]

My problem was that I liked planning. It was so much fun thinking about the end product that when I started it my mind had already thought I finished it. My high school had guided study. They had teacher to help with homework. Literally guiding me on what to do. Like planning. Sometimes my planning didn’t work out and I would have a break down. When it was a good idea to stop, start working, and finish it.

We had to show our assignment notebooks to the teacher in charge of us. One student would always claim he didn’t have homework. Then the teacher would ask me what was my homework in the class. From Sophomore year to senor year we had the same, English, history, and guided study class. I would tell the teacher my homework. Totally not helping with his no homework excuse.

What worked for me was little reminders in my assignment notebook. Things like, ‘two more days till the project is due,’ in red, ‘a day until project is due.’ I also had this jar where I put different color stick. Each color had a cash amount, candy, or something I would like to do. I could only get a total twenty for the week. The bigger the project the more money I could get. It was a Monday through Friday thing only. Weekends was to blow the rewards. If I didn’t turn in, finish, or didn’t reach a reasonable goal; I couldn’t put anything in the jar.

I really want to start doing that again. To bad it wont work.
