When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just begins
to live that day.
– Emily Dickinson
Now, more than ever, we need to share our stories. Bravo to you for having the courage to write your Slice of Life! We are so glad you are here. Please leave the link to your blog in the comments and then be sure to comment on at least 3 other posts this week.
Stacey Shubitz, Chief of Operations and Lead Writer here at Two Writing Teachers, has recently published Craft Moves: Lesson Sets for Teaching Writing with Mentor Texts. Stacey will be the guest host for the #G2Great chat this Thursday, July 14th, discussing mentor texts and ways to help students learn about writer’s craft. We hope you join the conversation!
I just posted due to computer issues for yesterday’s post http://wp.me/p6nQS4-5a A home schooling mom and I have a conversation about teaching.

In a flurry of a powerful weekend, I did not have time to write my first blog highlighting ILA16. The ideas are there but the words are not. Instead, I highlight the Spring’s Seeds Gallery that I unveiled this weekend for my 2nd ILA16 presentation, Transforming Writer’s Lives Through Digital Tools. Please peruse the gallery where voice is evident. http://beyondliteracylink.blogspot.com/2016/07/springs-seeds-gallery-unveiled.html
