Set Clear Bookwork Expectations for English

Display this teaching resource in your classroom to help your students understand bookwork expectations.

The diagram and checklists adhere to the following literature standards:

Rule a margin on each new page using red pen. Your margin should be standard ruler width (2½ cm).
Rule a top line on each new page using red pen.
Write the full date on the right side of your top line.
Give your new task a heading and underline in red using a ruler.
At the end of each piece of writing, leave a line and rule-off with red pen from the margin to the edge of the page.
Make sure you have a new heading and date for each new piece of work.
Worksheets to be neatly cut and glued into your book with no bits sticking out.

The editable version has been provided with a blank page for you to layout as you wish, along with editable text to scaffold for your class.

Benefits of High Expectations of Student Bookwork

foster pride in a student’s own work
develop a positive attitude towards learning
facilitate ease of understanding what they have done.
ensure better usage of books – no wasting of pages
develop simple routine and self-discipline
cement the importance of writing as a means of communication (if the teacher can’t decipher what’s on the page – the message is lost).

Thank you so much for making these templates editable! This will be so handy to have at the start of each year/term to remind students what level of presentation is expected.
