Does it work?

So I'm currently trying  a new work plan.  It spans two weeks.  There are standard categories down the left side and space for me to write the number or letter of assignment.  

I like the two week span, but still I'm not able to get the students to complete the assigned.  The tend to keep asking me if they can do other worked that aren't listed some of which seem appropriate and some seem less so.

How do you encourage the follow-up without assigning a grade, pressuring or demanding?  What about those kids that don't complete the work for two weeks and then don't remember the lesson?

I'd love to hear you thoughts!!
