Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

You are no longer (insert your name here), you now have the choice of being one of the four writers we discussed or an individual surrounding one of the four writers. Using the different writing techniques illustrated by these writers, create your own narrative telling of a specific event or a series of events. You will be graded according to the insight you give to your reader and how accurately you portray real life experiences lived by these individuals.
