Classroom Slice of Life Story Challenge 2024: The Power of Perspectives for Writers

Perhaps this week, consider challenging students to revisit stories, especially personal narratives, and write them from a different person’s point of view. Maybe students write only small snippets of a longer story, and that’s okay!

Classroom SOLSC Week 1- Ready, Set….

This week, let’s help our students develop that writing habit we established for ourselves during the March 2023 SOLSC! Many of us found that the expectation to write each day led us to live more like a writer- really looking for possibilities and stories in our days. Be sure to share some of your slices with your students and help them see where you found inspiration.

It’s also a good time to think ahead to spring, which promises warmer temperatures, more sunshine, and – of course! – all the stories our students will share in the 11th Annual Classroom SOLSC! In this post, I’ll answer some frequently-asked questions about the Classroom Slice of Life Story Challenge.
