Markers Make Homework POP!

Turn your basic homework assignments into works of art with a little help from slim markers. After your kids have gotten the assignment completed in pencil, and have corrected any errors, give them a set of fine markers and ask them to trace their answers. This will not only give a little life to an otherwise routine assignment, but the tracing will reinforce the students' understanding and provide practice with fine motor skills.

For assignments like graphic organizers and Venn diagrams, use various colors for opposing ideas.
