While you will always get at least one or two who just never seem to catch on to any system you come up with (it is murphy's law or something) you can use Homeworkopoly in your room as a positive reinforcement.
The 2 years I have used it for have given me much better results with homework being turned in.

I also do Fun Friday with a colleague. What happens is, one teacher takes the kids who have not been completing assignments (we called it Homework Club last year, but I am going to think up a new name) and they sit in her room silently and either complete that work or do something

like practice math facts flash cards (I don't like them to silent read b/c I don't want them to see reading as punishment). The other teacher takes the students who did complete their work and they are allowed to play board games, draw with friends, play on the computer, etc. It does work wonders and I also use it for behavior consequences.
