It does depend on what level class you're in. I would never expect first-semester students to do much more stylistically than what you've done here, trashley, and wouldn't expect much more from second semester students. I usually tell my students not to try and do anything they don't know how to do; while I love it when they suceed, much more often they fail.
By way of disclaimer, my policies may or may not be those of your instructor.
