Two Writing Teachers Summer Vacation

My colleagues and I at Two Writing Teachers will be taking a little vacation from our blog during the month of July. The six of us will be recharging our batteries, planning and brainstorming, coming up with even more great ideas to share with our lovely community of teachers and writers.

But don’t worry, we’ve got lots to keep you going in the meantime!

SLICE OF LIFE STORY CHALLENGE (AKA SOLSC):

Our  Slice of Life Story Challenge  posts will continue every Tuesday as usual, of course! If you haven’t sliced yet, July is the perfect time to try it for the first time. It will change your writing life.  Simply write a story from your life on your own blog, and then on Tuesdays, share a link to your story in the comments section on our SOLSC post. Comment on at least three other posts, and enjoy all the comments that you will receive in return. Join us!

SHARPENING YOUR WORKSHOP ROUTINES BLOG SERIES:

We’ll return to regular posting on our blog on August 4th, when we kick off our blog series, Sharpening Your Workshop Routines. This series will come just at the right time, as you start setting up your classroom and thinking about ways to make the 2014-2015 school year the best year ever.

SHARPENING YOUR WORKSHOP ROUTINES TWITTER CHAT:

And be sure to join us Monday, August 11th 8:30-9:30 pm EST for our Sharpening Your Workshop Routines Twitter Chat. We’ll host a conversation on ways to get your classroom up and running in the best ways possible!

WAIT, THERE’S MORE!
