Welcome to Day 13 of the Classroom Slice of Life Story Challenge! Glad you’re back!
2018 CLASSROOM SOLSC PADLET
ANNOUNCEMENTS
- Please be sure to comment on our daily inspiration/questions. We are hoping this will foster a sense of community among the teachers who are participating! Have an idea for how to do this even better? Great! Leave your suggestion in the comments or contact us using the information below.
- If you haven’t already we encourage you to reach out to another teacher who is participating in the challenge and partner up. You may find it a bit easier to teach your students to comment on other students’ writing if you get familiar with one or two other classroom blogs and how they work.
- Only post the link to your students’ slices of life here. Do not post the link to your personal slice of life stories here. Go to the daily call for individual slice of life stories to post your personal slice. This is the link to Day 1 only. This link will change each day. You should visit the Two Writing Teachers blog daily for the newest link.

Well, I blew this project. Ended up getting sick and not posting each day for my students. They have done an okay job of staying on top of the task even without me to remind them. Now to dig out from being gone for a week and half.

My students are loving reading their comments, more than they love writing comments. Some are asking questions in their slice in order to get responses. And if a comment asks a question, they need to answer it.

Keeping kids commenting is a greater challenge than keeping them writing at this point. Anyone else?

Do you have the badges? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eT9WXShsdSLGrPtAVY4WqxCAKXYF6Hfyi1ZD-aoAA64/edit
The commenter badge helps motivate them to comment on three or five posts. I require that the comment be longer than one phrase and makes a connection in some way. Some kids are better than others at commenting. Finding model comments helps, too.
