The expectation is that you still date your work, rule up your page, write or type the Learning Intention and Success criteria. What we expect of you in the classroom is what we expect of you at home. Remember you can use your Home Learning Book (HLB) or publish your work as a Word document (paste this into your book). Teachers will endeavour to provide feedback where possible.
