Barbara Jane Russell Robinson presently teaches sixth, seventh, and eighth grade language arts to varying exceptionalities students at Denn John Middle School in Osceola County, Florida. She formed a creative-writing club for the school last school year. Previously, she taught special education in Louisiana for ten years where she sponsored a creative-writing club for seventh and eighth graders. She has been writing since the third grade when a teacher submitted her short story about her dog to a local newspaper, and it was published. She won first prize for her short story The Lord Had Something Better in Mind in Southeastern Louisiana University's fiction-writing competition and developed that prize-winning short story into a novel which is available at www.internetbookco.com under Jane Russell, her maiden name. If you scroll down to the bottom of the homepage, you will see Strawberry Land U.S.A. and her columns and novel. You may click on the read reviews to see the great response her novel has received. Robinson has a degree in business education, secondary education, with certification in special edcuation, varying exceptionalities, secondary English, and business education. She was an honor graduate of Southeastern Louisiana University (SLU) in Hammond, Louisiana. Teaching and writing are her life works. She loves animals and her German Shepherd, Dakota, and her cats Star and Sam keep her company as she writes. She resides with her husband Scott Robinson in St. Cloud, Florida. She is sponsor of the Denn John Writing Dragons again this school term, and she is using timed writings in all of her language arts classes and with her creative-writing club and getting excellent results. Robinson and her students are published in The Osceola Magnifier and the Orange Peel Gazette. She was selected as Employee of the Month for December 2001 for all of the work she does with her students to improve their reading and writing skills and getting them hooked on reading and writing with what she has termed roller-coaster writing. Robinson has been nominated Poet of the Year for 2002 and personally invited to read her poetry at the prestigious gathering of poets for the International Society of Poets at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, during the International Society of Poets 2002 Spring Convention and Symposium. Two other special awards will be the International Poet of Merit Silver Award Bowl and a Commemorative Award Medallion to honor her poetic dedication and achievements. She won an Accomplishment of Merit Award from the National Library of Poetry in 1994 and an Editor's Choice Award from Creative Arts and Sciences. Robinson's poem Someone Special was published by the Southern Poetry Association in 1992. Recently an excerpt, an essay, from my autobiographical mainstream novel Magnolia: A Wilting Flower won the January essay contest at www.pointoflife.com and may be viewed there. Robinson will be awarded an Academy of Education Grant in the amount of $1000 for classroom supplies and materials to be used with her young authors. The award will be presented at the Academy of Awards for Education in March.
