After some more rooting around for ideas about homework, I found a
blog with an example of a
Take Away Homework as inspired by Teacher Toolkit's book. Having a little issue with the morals of KFC I decided to change mine to Nando's (marginally better), to be displayed in the classroom as well a takeaway menu for each student to take home.

| Feedback on Receipts |
Using my love of
spreadsheets I've created the menu on excel, and what better way to keep the theme than to give
feedback in
receipt form! If needing to give feedback one at a time (e.g. that wonderful moment when a student volunteers to do extra homework) then you can fill out the blue boxes and it will generate the receipt for you.
If on the other hand you have a whole class of homework to mark, there's a separate feedback form which will generate multiple receipts based on your inputs.
The advantage of providing the feedback on a receipt is that you can
omit certain costs and as a second level they can calculate the missing cost. The missing costs are graded according to difficulty, allowing for
differentiation (the highest level being missing tax, where the student has to calculate the tax and the percentage it was set at, allowing for rounding).
