I found this idea when I was supply teaching in a Grade 5/6 classroom and I think it was an awesome idea. Do you have students who tend to rush through work without double-checking spelling or grammar? Or maybe you have assigned an elaborate project that they seem to have finished in one day? Sometimes you may have a student who rushed so fast to get the work done, that they missed several learning expectations. It is important to have a conversation with this student about their quality of work. In my classroom, I would prefer a student to request more time for an assignment instead of rushing through to hand it in on the due date. If this were to happen, You can give your student a "Speeding Ticket" for rushing!
Speeding Ticket
You rushed through your work and made careless mistakes.
Please redo this assignment. Turn in this assignment along with
corrections by the following date. Due date: _________
Remember that it is essential to collect both copies, the first draft and the new-and-improved copy of the assignment. This way, you can see how the student has improved. I always catch up with the student to see how they feel about both copies and ensure they understand why they were asked to redo the assignment. Hopefully this student learns the importance of quality work and how time and effort affects their success.
