It always seems impossible until it is done. –Nelson Mandela
It’s the final day of our month-long writing challenge. How did it go? I’d love to hear your thoughts, feelings, and reflections. Please leave a link to your class’s final round-up along with anything else you’d like to share.
Thank you for taking the plunge for our first-ever classroom challenge. It was a delight to read your students’ posts! I enjoyed reading about their everyday experiences, traditions, and celebrations.
I hope it was a wonderful experience for you and your students. And most of all, I hope you’ll be back next March for another classroom writing challenge.
Details:
- If your students are slicing from their personal blogs, then you should link their blog posts together using your classroom or personal blog. Then, share the unique URL to the location of the “round up” of student slices. (Click here to find out what a unique URL is.) Remember to post one unique URL and use the same username/email to log so your comments will appear instantly.
- Only post the link to your students’ slices of life here. Do not post the link to your personal slice of life stories here. Post your personal slice of life story over at the daily call for individual slice of life stories.
- Any questions, please contact one of our concierges. (Click here for more information on how to work with our concierges.)

Thanks to everyone for your comments and support! Some of my students have really turned into writers, and others really enjoyed the chance to write for an authentic audience. I’ll be posting some reflections later this week on my blog.
