Homework may be assigned for the following reasons: 1.Absence: to make up work missed during an excused absence. 2.Completion: work was not completed at school for which time has been given to do so in class. 3.Extension: provide students with opportunities to transfer specific skills or concepts to new situations. 4.Practice: to help students master specific skills which have been presented in class. 5.Preparation: to help students prepare for the next step in a unit or study for a quiz or test.
