As I finish out the term, with only four days left, I am finding myself very overwhelmed with grading since my students love to procrastinate and hand tons in at the last minute. I don't know if this is just an alternative high school thing or if it is elsewhere too.

I used to have them write paragraph after paragraph, and analyze poems by themselves, but so many things have changed in my classroom to make it more interactive and engaging.
