We have faced insulation should we put plastic over that before we sheetrock our walls?

Faced Inuslation
Before you put up any poly, it may be advisable to read more about their "need" or potential problems therefrom. Most areas of the country do not need them, air sealing and vapor retarding instead. If you are going to ever run air conditioning, poly can be very problematic (as is wet, rotting walls). Buildingscience.com is a great place to start.
