31/31 – Another great challenge – I felt so much more confident and I learned something about what I need to do to make sure there is space in my life for authentic writing. I did some reflecting in my journal and on my blog
http://nurturingcuriosity.wordpress.com/2011/04/01/reflecting-on-31-days-of-writing/
And I have an idea for using the slice of life technique as a part of my teacher evaluation plans this next month.

Water Wars by Cameron Starcher and Writing Great Books For Young Adultsby agent Regina Brooks from Source Books.

This has instilled in me a new habit, writing and seeing the possibilities for topics in writing. I have a new appreciation for my internet connection at home! I am looking forward to Tuesdays and next March.

Two of the following titles from Eye on Education: Motivating Every Student in Literacy (Including the Highly Unmotivated) by Athans & Devine, Empowering Students to Write and Re-write by Combs, But I’m Not a Reading Teacher by Benjamin, Successful Student Writing through Formative Assessment by Tuttle, Teaching Grammar by Benjamin, Literacy from A-Z by Blackburn (3 people)

Comment reposted from the 25+ days comments:

I learned that all writing does not need to be well-developed and long in order to be effective and poignant. I also learned that I like comments more than I thought I did. I learned that I could do this — that I could commit to this and see it through until the end, no matter what kind of craziness might enter my life. Finally, I learned that I don’t just want to write, I need to. Every day if not more.

31/31 days taught me that I can do it. That I can make writing a priority and do it every day. I always heard people talk about professional writer’s taking time to write each day, but I couldn’t see how it was ever going to be possible. And then I did it for a month. It wasn’t long. But I still did it every day and can do it daily if I want.

Debbie Dean sliced every day! I met my goal. Thanks for encouraging me to write.

I sliced with my students – they grew as writers and I grew as a writer!

Key chains with the Slice of Life logo + our motto.

This post has a little bit of what I learned, but what I really learned in terms of writing is that it takes 1.Commitment 2. Consistency and 3.A lite – which we all have. In the end, there is a writer in every one of us, something that the internet age has really helped to engender. But also, I think this is something very special for us as teachers to learn, because as we learn ourselves that everyone has a story to tell, we can teach that to our students.

What a wonderful experience! I didn’t know if I would be able to write every day. Not only did I do it, but actually looked forward to it! Many thanks to all who made comments. That was truly a bonus.

I asked my three “random number generators” to help with this. I recorded their choices using Cinch and posted it to my Twitter feed. Feel free to listen to the live drawing.
