Exercise Book Rules

When writing in your exercise book, you will be expected to take care and produce neat, thoughtful work:
1. Listen to instructions carefully and think before you write.
2. Take pride in the appearance of your work.
3. Write in blue or black pen, and draw in pencil unless told otherwise.
4. Write the date in full on the top line of a new page.
5. Use a ruler to underline dates and titles and when drawing tables.
6. Give each piece of work an appropriate title which describes its contents.
7. Use the full width of your exercise book, excluding the margin.
8. Take care over spelling, punctuation and grammar. Dictionaries are available for you to use.
9. Participate and experiment without fear of failure.
10. Mind your manners, be respectful and listen to the people around you.
11. Use your initiative.
12. Always bring the correct equipment: exercise book, reading book, pens, pencil, ruler. Coloured pens, highlighters and a glue stick are also useful to have.
13. Glue any handouts neatly in your exercise book, in an appropriate place.
14. Read all feedback carefully and respond as directed. </aside>
