WRITE a slice of life story on your own blog.

I remember listening to my grandparents and my parents as a child. I heard so many stories. In particular, I heard a lot of stories from my great-grandmother. She was a storyteller who weaved together both memory and a touch of exaggeration and elaboration for fun.
Each time you share a story you are further etching your history into a permanent bank of text that can be read over and over again. I hope you will write, share, and give today!

I love your intro & quote, Betsy! Today I’m sharing one “ending” reflection I have done with students: http://www.teacherdance.org/2017/05/slice-of-others-lives-including-trees.html
It is such a good quote!
I couldn’t resist when I found it.
It is an ironic dichotomy that while this country has becomes more openly accepting, it has undeniably also become more openly hateful and worse more openly violent in its hate.

Oral history is beginning to lose its place in society, especially in America. I suppose the belief is that we’ve evolved above that now and have Wikipedia to consult.
As regularly happens with me, reading led to writing — about topical pedagogical territory. http://cast-of-characters.blogspot.com/2017/05/beating-dead-grading-horse.html
