-All work is neatly done-this means if you write in pen and you make a mistake you use white-out to fix it-not scribbled out; no torn or ripped pages are turned in; pages are not stained with cheese doodles or Gatorade stains; I can tell that you actually took your time and didn’t do this on the way to school the morning it was due 
-You have taken your time when writing or typing out your responses to ensure that you have used the proper conventions of the English language. This means your work should be written in complete sentences, you have used the correct punctuation, and you have checked your work carefully for spelling errors.
-For any work that includes drawing/coloring please make sure to take your time. This should look like an 8 th grader who cares about their work…we do not scribble. You do not have to be an artist to do nice simple work; you just have to care about your work.
