CLASSROOM SLICE OF LIFE STORY CHALLENGE: DAY 25 OF 31
It’s Day Twenty-Five of the Classroom Slice of Life Story Challenge. You are ALMOST there! Just six more days to go!
A really great lead sentence can really pull a reader into your story–not only that but as a writer, once you have a great lead sentence, the rest of the writing comes more easily!
Check out some great leads by students over the past few days and weeks:
Aniko Rao, from Linda and Jonathan’s Class Blog, on her own blog Death by Book wrote:
“I watched as mom slid the batter into the oil. Bubbles formed and encased the little clump of batter.‘See how it rose to the top immediately?’ she said, ‘That’s how you know when the oil is hot enough.'”
Check out the lead to a poem that Zahira, from 3EV’s SOLCC 2015, wrote on her own blog, Zahira’s Class Blog:
Sick todayBoredom sticks upDizziness takes my foreheadHeat brushes my cheeks
Rain has a mind of it’s own. One moment the sky is bright and blue. The next moment it is dull and grey.
Happy Slicing!

There’s so much incredible writing happening in these SOL student blogs! I wish I had more time to read them. (I’m trying to get around to ~20 kids/week in addition to the adult bloggers. It’s tough! Once I start, I can’t stop!)

A very late posting for my grade 6 students; as many will be slumbering away, they will add their slices in the morning (our morning, your evening).
