These are sheets I designed for homework in class. I give out the sheets when setting homework and students have to pick one from the 3 columns. There is no pressure to complete a 'master' (or equivalent) and students can get away with just the basics - this can be changed depending on your approach in the classroom. Upon receiving the hwk, I mark it with either full marks (points) depending on what column they picked, or half marks if it is rushed/underdeveloped etc. These go into my mark book and I watch for those who are constantly dropping below full marks.A reward can be given to the student with the highest marks at the end to entice competition. These sheets can run for the year if you wanted. Easily editable means that you can adapt to your subject. I have added 2 geography, 1 history and 1 general (EG English/science).
