WRITE a slice of life story on your own blog.
SHARE a link to your post in the comments section.
GIVE comments to at least three other SOLS bloggers.
For your writerly inspiration this week, instead of an image, I offer you a mini word cloud. I often use “the word of the day” to inspire my writing when I find myself without an idea. Here is a word of the day, of my choosing. I often find that I use a word and then hit up a thesaurus for similar words. See if you find this/these word(s) pop up in an everyday situation or maybe notice it/them visibly somewhere within a moment. Share your slice and enjoy the slices of others!
On another note, tomorrow is the last day to vote.
We are honored Two Writing Teachers was nominated as a finalist for the 2015 Edublogs Best Group Blogs (http://edublogawards.com/2015-finalists/#group). We are humbled to have been nominated with so many other outstanding education blogs.
If you feel compelled to vote for us, please do so by Wednesday, December 16th at 11:59 p.m. EST. You may cast your vote for Two Writing Teachers at http://edublogawards.com/vote-here/.
