We made these rules as a class at the beginning of the year. I pin them next to our 'Steps'. They are worded like an agreement/promise made by the students and are all in the positive. After we had made them, I saw that the first rule was not worded as I would have liked. It should read something more like "I will use a quiet voice inside" or "I will speak with an inside voice" etc. I just find that when the rules are written in this way it becomes a statement for each student about their behaviour and it is very clear about what behaviour will be expected in the classroom. If they 'break' a rule, it gives them the information they need to correct their behaviour.
