Many teachers give out homework passes as rewards. Students can turn in the passes in lieu of completing a homework assignment. Instead of giving out full homework passes, how about giving out half off homework passes instead? Students can use a half-off pass to turn in a half-completed assignment. That way, you can still be sure students learned the concepts being reinforced with the assignment. In order to track the half-off rewards you give out, you might print the reward coupons on adhesive label paper. Instead of stapling a homework pass to a paper (inevitably, some passes will become separated from their papers), the student can stick the label on the assignment for which he or she wishes to use the pass.
