I just bought 3 of your scrambled paragraphs. They look great! I will be using them this year, and I will definitely use them next year. Just an FYI, the words on the cover page are blacked out for me when I open it and print. Not a problem, just wanted to let you know. Just thought you might like to know. Could be a font issue. :) Thanks!!! Super product.

I'm so sorry! I can only imagine how frustrating this must have been for you. I have never experienced this problem. I want to make this right. I'll suggest a few things. 1) Go to your purchases on TpT and download the file again. Perhaps there was a glitch with the download. 2) Make sure the computer you're using supports PDF files. 3) Send me your email at Lessons4Now@gamil.com and I can send you the original PDF file from my very own computer. 4) I can arrange for you to get your money refunded. I hope one of these will successfully resolve this issue. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further problems. And, again, I'm so sorry for the inconvenience I know this must have caused!

spanglell re: Understanding Prompts: Expository, Narrative, & Persuasive PPT
I was not able to open on my MacBook Air.
March 10, 2013
Lessons4Now (TpT Seller)
Thank you for making me aware of this issue. I'm very sorry you're having difficulties with this download. No one has had an issue with this before so I don't have a quick solution. I'm not a MacBook Air user but my research indicates that PowerPoint on the Mac should open PowerPoint files created with the Windows version. However there are different versions of both PowerPoint Mac and PC. I used the 2007 PC version to create my product. Mismatched versions can sometimes cause formatting errors. However, I wouldn't expect that it would fail to open. One online source suggested running the Windows version of PowerPoint either in Bootcamp or Parallels/Fusion on your MacBookAir.
That said, I have to admit I can't offer a for-sure technological fix. I'll be happy to refund your money, send you a different product that does not rely on PPT technology, or consider other solutions that you might wish to make.
Please email me at lessons4now@gmail.com to let me know how I can help make this right! Thanks again for contacting me with this concern. Again, I'm very sorry that this product was not able to work with your system.

singera re: Paragraph Writing Introduction: Skill Sheets
There are some typing mistakes on some of the sheets. Can you fix these and send them to me?
I just bought your paragraph writing powerpoint and skill sheets. Love them! Although I saw some mistakes, Can you fix them and send them to me?
On the Paragraph Writng Pre-Assessment...There is a "3" in the word includes, which is in answer C under Section B.
On Vocabulay and Vocabulary Fill-In...both pages get cut off when printing (maybe something with the margins). Also on the Vocabulary sheet all the "u" have been replaced with commas. Same thing on the directions on the Vocabulary fill-in sheet.

I'm so sorry there were mistakes in your download. I really appreciate you letting me know about these issues. I've been out of town for the last few days and just arrived home. I'll look into this as soon as I'm able. I can send you a revised file if you provide an email, or you can check your purchases page for the revised file. Please feel free to email me at lessons4now@gmail.com if you have any further questions or concerns. Thanks again for contacting me with your concerns!
UPDATE-> I've deleted the unnecessary "3" in the word "includes." To resolve the cut off page you may need to select "fit to page" when printing, or select legal size paper. Finally, I'm not seeing the commas-replacing-the-letter-u problem. Since this is a PDF, I'm not sure how that could be happening. I'm sorry I can't offer a solution for this issue. However, I'll be happy to refund your money, provide another product of equal value, or consider another solution that you may wish to suggest. Please contact me at lessons4now@gmail.com to let me know you wish to proceed. Again, I'm sorry you are experiencing these difficulties and I hope to hear from you soon so I can make this right!

Enrichment with Class (TpT Seller) re: Scrambled Paragraphs 4-in-1 BUNDLE Activity Packets
This looks like a great packet- I really like your econ packet. I was wondering how you created your preview pic so it can't be edited? I'd like mine to come up better so they show all the pages like that. Thanks!

I use the snipping tool on Microsoft for preview thumbnails and to create small images that can be layered for an array. I've also used the "take a snapshot" feature in Adobe PDFs to create single page files that can then be opened in Word. These mini-pics need to be formatted to move and layer, but they are pretty good quality. When the array is ready, I then take another "snipped" picture of it to use as a thumbnail. I checked out your TpT store. Your thumbnails and previews look as good as any I've seen! However, if you want to try any of these things and you need more information, feel free to email me at any time at lessons4now@gmail.com. --Claire

Again, I apologize for any problems you've had and appreciate the opportunity to set things right. Please contact me anytime if you have any further questions or concerns.
Thank you for your patience.
All the best,

I'm sorry you had problems with this download. All you need to do is click "read only." To move the file from the download window, click on it and drag it to any other file on your computer. For example, I dragged the exact file in question to my documents file, and was able to immediately open it from there-- again by clicking "read only."
If this is not acceptable to you, I'll be happy to send you a PDF of the same file. I'm also happy to consider any alternative suggestion you may have.
It's important to me that this product fulfills your expectations. Now that I'm aware this may be a problem, I plan to do some additional research. Thank you for letting me know about this issue. I appreciate the opportunity to make this right and avoid similar concerns in the future.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
20+ years that have included working with students at K-12 in both the classroom and as a tutor.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I try to be a good role model, showing my students courtesy and respect, and keeping my sense of humor. I usually demonstrate expectations and then step aside to facilitate students as they develop new skills and knowledge. Students also need a secure, predictable environment. Consistent rules and procedures help students feel emotionally safe so they can take risks and ask for help.
