Thank you to Stacey, Betsy, Dana, Tara, Beth, Anna, Kathleen & Deb for this amazing platform to write and share writing! What a wonderful community you've created! I'm honored to be part of it. Join us at Two Writing Teachers.
On Saturday, I looked at the date and noticed the number twenty-six. That made me think of the alphabet...twenty-six letters. That inspired today's post. Using the alphabet, I wrote the ABCs of Slicing. I drafted in my notebook, so here's the original version. Enjoy!
Would you have written anything different for any of the letters?
As I was writing this, I had lots of ideas for the letters S and W and T, other letters weren't as easy for me. It took some time to think. This post was more like putting together the pieces of a puzzle. Might be a fun writing format for students to try.
I have seen this format before and wanted to try it. I love your use of color and your handwriting so much. Your journals must be beautifully colorful.
ReplyDeleteMichelle,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kimberly that your handwriting and color adds so much to this slice. What a powerful reminder that there are so many ways to create our slices!
This is so fun! In putting this together, you certainly were reflective -- one of the best things about writing. And I can also see that you put many of your pens to good use. :) Happy Easter, friend!

ReplyDeleteOur notebooks are a safe place to take risks, to experiment and most importantly make discoveries. Thank you for sharing your thinking. Thank you for providing a glimpse inside your notebook Michelle. Here is living proof that writing is a form of problem solving. A slice about slicing. You have kicked some goals here!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the idea and how you put it into your notebook with all of the beautiful colors! :) I love "Y-You ca do it!"
ReplyDeletePerfect for Day 26!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Also challenging-like you said putting together a puzzle! Very creative Michelle!
ReplyDeleteThe previous post should have been with this username for Slice of Life. (Sorry)
ReplyDeleteI think one of my biggest takeaways from reading other posts during the month of March is one of yours so the V - vulnerability is powerful rings very true.
