Click below to download a takeaway homework template.
- Write a list of 30-50 homework ideas for a key stage, project or year group.
- Now divide these homeworks into sections. For example; Research; Development; Evaluation.
- Decide if you want to place the homeworks in a sequential order using a subject-specific, assessment criteria. Adding success-criteria make remove the exciting aspect of a Takeaway, or add incentives to improve…
- Add a simple statement describing each homework and what is needed. No more than a sentence.
- Make sure each-homework can literally be read there and then, and is a ‘Takeaway’. This means, it requires no further guidance.
- Decide on what method you will use to display this resource. A huge banner? A tombola? Using the interactive whiteboard and a lottery-number selector? Simply laminated and stuck to the wall? As the back of all students’ exercise books?
- Consider setting one random Takeaway homework once a half-term (as well as regular homework).
- Consider adding all your Takeaway homework tasks to this online random selector: www.bit.ly/TakeAwayHomework
