Slice of Life Challenge

I’ve seen the logo over the past few years, but never took the time to read up on what it was all about. The Slice of Life Challenge started in 2008 as a challenge for fourth grade students to encourage them to write regularly in their notebooks about their own lives – a quick glimpse into what their day looks like.

It’s now over ten years old and has three challenges to choose from:

1. Individual Tuesday Slice of Life Challenge – write four slices of life posts throughout the month and post them on Two Writing Teachers “Call for Slices” post on Tuesday.
2. Individual Month-Long Slice of Life Story Challenge – post a short glimpse into your life each day during March. And as always comment on other bloggers posts as well.
3. Classroom Slice of Life Story Challenge – take the challenge into the classroom and charge your students with this fun writing journey.

So the writing for this challenge is far different from what I’m used. I’m used to reviewing, creating lists, and sharing my thoughts in response to something. This is much more creative, fact-based but told in story format. I’m excited to give it a try and if you’re so inclined, fill out the sign up form to enter as well! Wish me luck as I now have two days to prepare!
