My answer always is, "My expectation is a minimum of seven sentences. Please begin immediately and you must indent, capitalize, punctuate every sentence, have complete thoughts, AKA sentences, spell correctly and write legibly and neatly in cursive. You must always check your work by rereading it, using a dictionary and crossing your T's & X's and dotting your i's. Please begin and give me your best work. Thank you."
