Translation:Öğretmen senin ödevlerini yapmadığını söyledi.

Is the 'ı' at the end of 'yapmadığını' the accusative of "söyledi" (i.e it is what is being told)?
And since "ödevlerini yapmadığını" is one object, we need to add the endings to both words. Correct?
Both 'ödevlerini' and 'yapmadığını' are objects but they do not belong together as one single object. So in this sentence there are two objects.
'yapmadığını' is the object of 'söyledi'.
'ödevlerini' is the object of 'yapmadığını'.
Both 'ödevlerini' and 'yapmadığını' are objects but they do not belong together.
'yapmadığını' is the object of 'söyledi' and
'ödevlerinin' is the object of 'yapmadığını'.
My stab at it put the teacher nearer to his verb. I think this is wrong but can you tell me why? I also skipped senin.
Ödevlerini yapmadığını öğretmen söyledi.
I don't think it should be considered wrong (you could try reporting it). It's an uncommon alternative. The word directly before the predicate (the verb in this case) focuses emphasis on itself. So your sentence is like "The teacher said that you did not do your homework.".
Not using senin is acceptable & natural; though it does create ambiguity since yapmadığını can also mean "that (s)he hasn't done".
Why does homework have to be plural here? i.e. why is ödevini marked as wrong?
öğretmen dedi ki senin ödevin yapmadın
does this sentence imply the same translation (the teacher said that you did not do you homework)
Adding to what Selcen said, dedi corresponds to "said," and söyledi & -dik together correspond to "said that." So you would use dedi if the sentence had been, "The teacher said, 'You did not do your homework.'"
I think -dik will always be followed by "söylemek" and not "demek". I don't have a better explanation at the moment :(
Please can someone tell me why the -mIş suffix wouldn't be used on yapma- here, since it is what someone else said happened? Thank you!
We don't use -miş in sub clauses. You can say:
Ödevini yapmamışsın. Öğretmen öyle söyledi. (You apparently didn't do your homework. The teacher said so.)

yapma - don't do
yapma - dik = yapmadiğ - is not done
yapma-diğ -in - your not doing respec. yapma -diğ -i - her/his not doing
yapma-diğ -in - i accusativ respec. yapma -diğ -i -(buffer)n - i
It is in accusative because of söyledi. It is the direct object of it. "He said .... your not doing"
Can someone explain why "yapmadığını" has to come after "ödevlerin" and not before?

I don't know if this is an answer, but it is the object of the verb: said | that you did not do or (more or less) told about | your not having done
There may be something more formal to say about -dik- constructions (along the lines of SheridanZhoy's comment) but that's all I've got.
What is the last i on ödevlerini ? I thought ödevlerin is in the genetive form , is that correct ?

it is 'your homework' = 'senin ödevlerin'. but there is the subordinary clause left: 'that you did not do'. So we have to translate literally 'your not doing your homework'. yap -ma (negation) dığ (DIK)-ın(gen)-ı (acc) = your not doing (accusatıv object) Now we have to put it together with 'your homework. - senin ödevlerin.' Means the possessed word get an addional 'ı'. We get 'yap-ma-dığ-in-i ödev-ler-in-i = your not doing your homework = your homework that you did not do. Hope that will help you

Benim ana dilim ne Türkçe ne İngilizce. Ama bence bu cümle yapısı normal değil. Sizin cümlede 'öğretmen' vurguliyor. Mümkün yanlış değil ama Duolingo neredeyse her zaman en çok bilinen tercüme görmek istiyor.
No, unfortunately it is not. However, you can say "Öğretmen söyledi ki ödevlerini yapmıyormuşsun.", if you want to prefer "söyledi ki". I am not sure whether it is accepted or not but it is more proper form.
"Öğretmen dedi ki , senin ödevlerini yapmadığını" what's wrong with that ?
