Homework:
ST - Needs the hw to be modelled in class with practice time
provided. The hw must be clear. Students need to restate and
write down the hw.
NT - Needs the hw to be challenging and curiosity-provoking. NT
learners dislike rote and repetitious tasks. NT learners
enjoy having to defend a conclusion.
SF - Also needs the hw to be modelled in class, but the
practice needs to be done in partnerships. SF learners need
to ask questions of peers and teacher.

creative potential. The hw should ask that existing content
be reorganized and applied in creative and original
ways.
