Default Re: make sure you do or you will?

No - will is not possible here. Remember the meanings of willthat we talked about in a previous thread - it can be a prediction or willingness. Neither or those meanings is being expressed here and therefore will is not relevant. The speaker wants "bringing the homework" to become a concrete fact. Therefore the first form of the verb (which expresses concrete facts - I live in Italy, Water boils at 100°C ) is therefore used.
