Keeping track of missing assignments

I worked very hard this week to prepare review activities and portfolios of student work to help students study for their science outcome test. I never have all student work from one assignment since my students are constantly pulled for services. Therefore, I had to spend extra time making sure that the students had their assignments ready for the portfolios. I created a warm-up activity called “The Case of the Missing Assignments”. This was simply a list of students with missing assignments. I tried to use an interesting font and name for the “activity” to get students to turn in their work. I want to try harder to get students to complete late work in advance next time so I am not missing so many assignments.
