What happens if you forget your morning coffee?

Well, yours truly left the list of email addresses in school, and something tells me that it's already disappeared into the uncertain depths of the abyss that is my desk. We can all safely conclude that Mrs Venod needs a critical caffeine buzz DAILY for normal functioning.
So instead of waiting till Monday to attempt a futile search-and-rescue of the email list, I offer you this option: post a comment to this entry leaving your name and your email address eg. Joanna - blahblahblah@yadayadayada.com
However, if you are afraid that some random (and creepy!) digi-perverts might chance across our blog, get a hold of your email addresses and start e-stalking you, then wait till Monday to pass me your email address.
Meanwhile, for those who have ideas to share about our blog title, feel free to post a comment!
Have a wonderful and restful weekend! Do your homework for heavens sake, and unwind too - some of you look too stressed for 15 year old teenagers!

Till Monday,
Mrs Venod

Finally on the WWW

Yes, yes...I know I'm rather late in jumping on the digital wave, but I'm here and that's the only thing that matters.
And so ladies and gents, I proudly present to you *drumroll*

***EleCt ELiTeRaTi***
This blog is exclusive to a select few - 25 of you Elective Literature students to be exact - and moi of course, as the charming, eagle-eyed MODERATOR.
The purpose of this blog, you ask? Another platform (Note: "platform" is NOT synonymous with "Aunt Agony", "Slam-board" or "Whine-time") for you to share your opinions and ideas after an engaging and enriching Literature lesson (don't you dare disagree with this!).
For a pleasant blogging experience, here are certain blogkeeping commandments that we ought to adhere to:
1. Thou shall not desecrate the sanctity of this blog with vulgarities or any offensive and abrasive language or opinions.
2. Thou shall not discuss anything that is not related to Literature.
3. Thou shall adopt Standard English as a medium for your posts - need I remind you that you will need to write in Standard English for your 'O' Levels, and not Singlish.
4. Thou shall respect opinions of other members of this blog. However, we agree to disagree (without leading to any controversy or fights).
5. Thou shall always sign off in your given name. This just makes it easier for me. Memorising names is one thing - memorising nicknames and linking them to names is a whole different ball game.
I think five simple rules should be sufficient for now!
On to our first order of business - analyse the title of our blog! How did I come up with the title? What was the inspiration? And what does it mean?
Cheerio!
Mrs Venod
