2. Must not be plageurized!  Your text will be checked by google-ing it to determine if you stole it from another site.   You may use valuble information from other souces, but you must put the information in your own words.  If you would like to use a brief quote from another source, it must be in "quotation marks" and immediately referenced following the quote.  If you choose to plagerize another source points will be deducted from your score  (at Mrs. Roesler's discretion).

 

3. After you have finished creating your page, you must create a quality question about your breed in the comment section.  A reader should be able to answer the question by reading your page.
