Writing for Mrs. Hubbard's Class

Students, these rules are non-negotiable:

Never misspell a key term, name of a character, or place, which is easily found in your textbook or reading book.
Never begin a sentence with the word “Because.”
Use quotation marks if you are copying directly from a book, or the exact words someone said.
Don’t capitalize letters in the middle of a sentence or in the middle of a word.
Do capitalize all proper nouns: the names of people or places.
Never begin a sentence with:
Also….
I think….
I personally think….
They
Because
And
Today I am writing about
This paper is about
Like when

“Paraphrase” means to put into your own words. You must always paraphrase unless you use quotation marks. Never copy word for word out of a book, or other resource. It’s called plagiarism and it is not allowed.

No cutsie writing like “waz” or circles or hearts on top of the letter i.

Writing should be within the lines of the paper: only capitals should touch both lines, lower case should be half as high. (It’s time for your writing to “mature.”)

Enjoy writing!
