To prepare yourself for a test, you need to practice. You can't expect to remember everything you learned in class. Homework, or practice, is a way to test and prepare yourself for the actual test. Marzano recommends different ways to practice:  Study Buddy   Flash Cards   Tutor   There are many quetions to consider about practice:   When is the best time for students to practice? How much homework should be given to students? How long should they study for? Should they only study once a day? **__Key Research Findings__**  Teachers should assign appropriate homework that matches the students' skill level. Students learn more when practicing fewer skills, at a deeper level, instead of a variety of skills. Students should recieve feedback on homework. Not necessarily a grade, but hlepful comments from the teacher.



Most students think that once they leave the classroom, they're done with their work. Students need an exciting way to do their homework. Combining practice with technology is a great way to encourage them to do their homework. Their are multiple help websites that students could use if they ever had trouble with their work. If a student can't understand what to do, they're more likely to give up. A great way for students to complete their homework is to work in a group. Meeting at home or at the library would work. Students can ask each other questions if they get stuck, or use the help websites.
