If you are one of the five or six students who have not been able to get signed up with an account in Write the World and joined Mrs. Scales’ Room Writing Group, make sure you get it done this weekend.  You can only make one account per email address, so if you have had trouble you may need to set up a free email or use the email of a sibling or parent to get an account set up.  Be sure to write down the email and password you use so you can get logged back into Write the World.  Once you are in, look for and ask to join Mrs. Scales’ Room Writing Group. After I have accepted you as a member you will be able to write the first draft of your first prompt assignment.  For more information go back to review the prompt information and sample I provided in yesterday’s blog.

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.
