ANNOUNCEMENTS!

Below are a few concerns, please read carefully.  If you have questions email me at
languagearts@teacher.com
  • If you are assigned a typed work, then you must SAVE it in Word 1997-2003,
    so that if it does not print, you may then be able to print it from the classroom.
    Make every attempt to print it on your own.

  • One-time Waiver: If you send in an assignment by 4:00 pm on the due date to
    my email celeste.reyes-ehrlich@browardschools.com, I will not take points
    off. Again, you are entitled to this only one time, and you must act within the
    due date. It is essential that you learn to meet deadlines accordingly.

  • However, if you send the document (an essay or poem) to my email, you have
    to send it as an attachment. If you embed the document to your email, it will
    be illegible when I receive it (I need to see the MLA format). Make sure that
    you save the document as Word 1997-2003; then browse for the document
    from  your email and attach to the email before you send.  Make sure you
    have the paperclip or thumbtack on your email prior to sending it to me.  Five
    points will be taken off the grade for every late day. Remember, it is for your
    learning that I assign work, you must follow the parameters.

  • Lastly, MLA format means:
                        -double-spaced
                        -heading
                        -numbered pages
                        -margins on pages
            See an example here:

One final note-Dress code is part of the School Board's policy and it is included in
the Code of Conduct. Ladies and gentlemen, please do not wear hanging pants,
too short shorts, or spaghetti blouses that are too revealing.  Your clothes do
matter and create an image of you. I expect to follow this policy within my
classroom and will have no qualms in sending you to the office if your attire is not
appropriate for the classroom environment. Respect me, respect your peers,
respect yourself. This is your final warning.
