On the day it's supposed to be handed in, this semi-intelligent piece of paper recieves an incredible urge to be near it's creator. It then flocks toward the teacher that handed it out, stopping kids 'forgetting' their homework when they've actually just not done it.
It could be imbued with some form
of voice, so if it's trapped or lost, it can shout for help, yelling either the name of the owner, or the name of whoever set it.

Lets say for example that through the use of solid state electrolytes (batteries where the ions travel through a solid) infused into the paper it powers polymer transistors (flexible) that hold information about the due date (programmed with imbedded RF receivers). When when the due date arrives electroactive polymers allow the paper to crawl down the street like a catapillar. |

Should probably be laminated to prevent rain damage. |

I can just see the relevant paperwork winging its way from the crash site (I was involved in an airplane crash and we had to eat my homework to survive).
Or else slipping out from underneath the newly-born kittens, covered in afterbirth, in order to fulfil its destiny. |
