I know we all have those students who chronically do not finish their work and if you are teaching in a school like me, inevitably there will be students who will not do homework or who will not bring it back. A few years ago I really needed a solution to organizing all of the work that was not done or that had corrections to do.
Every year now I have an unfinished work folder for each of my students. Like the name says, this is where all of students unfinished work goes, along with any work that has corrections to do.
No longer do students need to go through one stack of papers looking for anything that might be theirs and I no longer have stacks of random papers lying on my desk.
At the end of a work period anyone who has work that didn't get done, just puts the work in their folder (that is if I don't collect them to mark what they have done so far). Also a few times a week we hand out the folders and add any work that needs to be added.

I hope this will help you with your organization and I would love to hear if you have any other brilliant ideas for organizing paper.
