Table 3- The Homework Plan for Michael Adams

page 2

IV. Daily Plan for Organizing Homework Completion

1. With help from my mother, I will make an organized plan for each night's homework. This plan will guide me in what subject I will do first, second, etc. It will also divide up homework time between assignments due tomorrow and long-term assignments. My mother agrees to permit me to determine the order of doing homework.

2. My plan will estimate the time needed to complete each assignment, as well as how I will check each assignment over for accuracy, completeness, and legibility.

3. The plan will specify how often I will take breaks during homework time, how long the breaks will be, and how large assignments will be divided into smaller units.

4. The plan will specify where I will put the completed assignments and how I will make sure I turn the work in.

V. Medication. I agree to take a dose of Ritalin at 5:00 P.M. on Sunday through Thursday, to help me concentrate on homework.

VI. Turning in Assignments

1. As I finish an assignment, I will put it in the section of my binder for that class.

2. I will do my best to remember to hand in each assignment.

VII. Feedback - My teachers agree to tell me how I did within two days after I hand in an assignment. They also agree to mail my parents feedback about how many of the last week's assignments were turned in on time when they send the next week's assignment list. The guidance counselor will collect these materials from the teachers and mail them out.

VIII. Rewards- My parents agree to let me make 20 minutes of long distance phone calls to my girlfriend each night that I do my homework. If I do my homework for five nights in a row, they agree to let me make 45 minutes of long-distance phone calls on the weekend.
