Neither of them sound right to me. If one said "She made this book your homework", would that be considered correct? I'm not sure as it's the act of reading the book that is the homework, isn't it? I'm not a teacher by the way. Your questions just got me thinking.

Native speakers do not need that spelled out.

In my experience, students need clear instructions as to what they are required to do.

Were I one of the students in the class and had missed the lesson when the homework was set, the information that 'she made a book or research paper our homework' would not tell me what I was supposed to do. Should I read it, comment on it, summarise it or even write it myself?
