DAY 10 OF THE MARCH SOLSC! #SOL16

Dana Murphy

Welcome to Day 10 of the 9th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge!  

If you’re participating in the individual Slice of Life Story Challenge, this is where you share your writing.  If you’re sharing your students’ slice of life stories, please head over to the Classroom Challenge.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Bonnie K. is collecting photos of our ideal writing spaces.  If you have a photo of a beautiful place you’ve visited or a gorgeous spot you’ve captured with your camera, send it along to Bonnie at blkdrama[at]me.com.  Include a short caption describing the place and why you’d like to write there.

    1. Judy, Your students are writers. Their participation in the writing discussion shows this. Thanks for reminding us of the importance of sharing our writing with our students. How else can we become memebers of the writing community?
