Structure of an exercise book entry

Every exercise book entry should follow the same pattern:

  • Write the date in the margin in the format 1st April

  • Choose a descriptive heading: Homework or Email are NOT descriptive headings. A heading should make clear what the exercise book entry is about and what makes it different from other entries. In most cases, you can use the heading of your task from the textbook, workbook or worksheet.

  • Underline your heading with a ruler.

  • Skip a line after the heading before you start writing.

  • For text productions (not for grammar or vocabulary exercises), please skip every second line within a paragraph and skip two or more lines between paragraphs.

  • After your exercise book entry before the next entry, please skip at least three lines.
