The Slice of Life Story Challenge began on Two Writing Teachers in March 2008. This March, we’ll host the 11th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge. Ever since the challenge began, the mission has remained the same: to support teachers who want to write daily. Teachers who write regularly can better support the students they teach in writing workshops daily.
In the weeks to come, the co-author team and I will provide you with information about prizes and the Sixth Annual Classroom Slice of Life Story Challenge. For now, here’s some basic information to get you energized for our March writing challenge. (Please note: There are three sections to the slide presentation below: new & returning slicers, new slicers, and returning slicers. Please read the sections that apply to you.

Are you excited about the 11th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge? Do you need some motivation to commit? Please share your thoughts by leaving a comment.

I am looking forward to March. This will be my third year and I’ve joined the Welcome Wagon this year. Thank you so much for organizing and facilitating this wonderful opportunity.
I am ready to commit this year! Do I need to officially register anywhere? http://www.doingtheworkthatmatters.com
That’s great, Dani!
The sign-up will go live the third week of Feb.
Looking forward to joining for my third year, this year I am going to try and get a class entered and participating also.
This is such a wonderful time of the year!
It definitely livens up the final part of winter!
So excited for my 2nd challenge. Let’s go!
Delighted you’ll be joining us again this year!
I look forward to this challenge every year. Making time in your day to write is 100% positive!
Fabulous!
Yay, so proud of myself that I accepted and completed the challenge last year! Can’t wait for this year!
Finishing the challenge leaves you with a great sense of accomplishment, doesn’t it?!!?
My fourth time too and I am excited that former students have already been asking about it!
Delighted you and your students will be participating again. Beth will have a post about some exciting changes for this year’s classroom challenge tomorrow.
This will be (I think) my fourth year participating and I’m so looking forward to it! Thanks for all that you do to organize this huge undertaking and to foster a warm, supportive community to support teachers who write.
We start planning in December. It’s a massive undertaking, but helping teachers grow as writers is a labor of love for all of us here at TWT. Delighted you’ll be taking the challenge again!
