Homework
An important aspect of the classroom
Teachers use homework to determine whether or not you know what you were taught.
Homework can be very frustrating...
Have you ever gotten home and realized that you forgot your homework in your locker?
Have you ever started a worksheet, only to realize that you did not remember what you were taught in class?
Have you ever wished that you were given more time to work on a homework assignment in class?
Do you learn best by watching something being done and then doing it yourself?
Do you learn better when you can get help and discuss difficult lessons with your classmate?
