These are weekly homework that I give my JHS 2nd and 3rd graders. In general, I try to include grammar and vocab based on what they went through in class for that week. This is to get them used to reading articles and looking for answers from long passages (especially for 3rd graders taking their entrance exams. The reading portion in their papers are long and wordy as heck).
I also have a system with the 3rd graders where they get points for trying and handing in the homework, and they can exchange it for things like stickers and all.
Feel free to loot the homework from me, or leave a comment if you have suggestions.
I'm also posting it here to get some ideas on what topics to write about for their homework. I usually have trouble thinking of something new every week so please feel free to suggest.
I'll try to update them weekly, or maybe every once in awhile.

I think these are super interesting!!! I won't use them as homework but maybe as an in-class worksheet if needed.
One funny thing is that for some it looks like the writing isn't there but it's in white.
These look great! I can use them with some of my lower level HS classes. Thank you for sharing! =D
@sarahr97 Could you tell me which are the ones? I think it might be a formatting issue as I use dark mode on my ms word. I'll see if I can change them on the gdrive version
Ok cancel that, I found them and made the changes. Probably a formatting issue when converting from word to gdocs. Thanks! I'll take note for future uploads
The texts and questions are great! I was wondering how your point system works? Is it based on correct answers? How do you and the students keep track of how many points each person has?
thanks for all of your hard work!
@SolanKJ: Sure, if you do have any ideas feel free to do it. I think you can request for editor access and I'll let you through :) Feel free to move away from the template if it doesn't suit your style, the template isn't perfect in the first place.
@Tohokuteach: I originally introduced the point system as a way to encourage students to submit their homework and to try answering the questions, even if they don't know the answer. So 5 points for submitting, 1 for trying to answer (or incorrect), and 1 more if its correct. So a total of 2 points for each correct answer. Bonus parts are usually 2 points per sentence, regardless if it's correct or not.
@Tohokuteach: Sorry I left this part out, I write the points each students earned for that worksheet as well as their total accumulated points on their marked homework. So the points are only privy to them. I also have an excel sheet that tracks each student's submission history and points earned every week. Takes a bit of work, but you get to track student's progress.
