Welcome to the home for ALL of Ms. Neun's classes.

Recommended guides
As ELA courses are all about writing, I highly recommend the following handbooks/references:
- They Say, I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing
- Writer's Inc
- Writing with Style: Conversations on the Art of Writing (2nd edition works fine; I'm unsure if 3rd edition has any major changes)
NOTE: http://www.thriftbooks.com and http://www.textbookrush.com are both excellent sources for buying secondhand books/textbooks!
Back-to-school Files

Cell Phone Policy
Cell phones are to be on silent (NOT just vibrate) or shut off entirely during class and in your backpack. Not on a desk, or in a lap, or under your rear: IN YOUR BACKPACK!!! If a phone is seen, it will be taken by Ms. Neun. Phones can only be retrieved AFTER SCHOOL. Repeat offenders may find their phone sent to the office, with instructions that a parent must be present to retrieve it. Whining, crying, excuses, or outright defiance may result in students receiving a referral in addition to having their phone sent to the office. This is your warning.
