Technology in 2025

Welcome back after our snow days. We did our root word quiz and finished taking the AR test for anyone who had missed it. We are now done with Treasure Island for this year. We will not be showing the movie or doing the final performances.

Today we began working on our ISTEP prep writing. This means we are practicing for the writing portion of the ISTEP tests. Today we talked about how writing prompts give us information about what we are to write about and tell us who we are writing to. Our first practice prompt was:

You wake up in 2025. What technology has changed. You are writing a letter to your dog back in 2010.

Everyone was given 30 minutes or longer of writing time and the prompts were turned in at the end of class.

You MUST bring your Literary Circle books to class everyday for the next two weeks.

About the Author

My life has taken many paths. I grew up in Farmland, Indiana and graduated from Monroe Central High School in 1979. Yes I know that seems like a long time ago to most of you. After I graduated from High School, I went into the U. S. Navy. Not a lot of women enlisted in the Navy back then. Boot camp was still segregated (that means there were only women in my boot camp) and yes, boot camp is as bad as they say it is. I survived though and began seeing a little more of the world than just our lovely corn and soy bean fields of Indiana. I was an advanced avionics technician and worked on F14 Tomcat jets in the Navy. Back then women couldn't go on ships but I was stationed in Bermuda for a little over a year. Bermuda is beautiful and the people are warm and friendly. I married my husband while in the Navy and we eventually moved to Minnesota.
