The Rainbow Hue of Our Days in a Sentence
Anne M. creatively decided to use PowerPoint as the coloured backdrop (notice I used the non-American spelling there) of PowerPoint to cast our words against the colours of our days. I took that powerpoint and made them into pictures so I could share here. (you can also view it as a Flickr slideshow here)

Hello. I want to invite you all to join us for this week’s Day in a Sentence, with an alliterative twist. Please boil down your week or a day in your week to a single sentence, but use some fun alliteration with your words. Be creative and be reflective! To participate, just add your alliterative More >

Hello I am back to hosting Day in a Sentence and it is cool to be doing it for the first time in 2010. I am going to direct folks to a Wallwisher site that I set up because it is just so darn easy to use and I want to show people what this More >
Something Important with Days in a Sentence

Tracy, over at Leading from the Heart, is the guest host for this week’s Day in a Sentence. She asks us to consider something important — and the balance we need to strive for in our life — and reflect upon that with our sentence this week. You are invited to join us. What you More >
Your Day in a Haiku
about 2 years ago - No comments
I must be in a poetic frame of mind. So, how about Day in a Haiku, which we have not done in quite some time. You can go traditional 5-7-5 or veer off into your own creative Haku-ish world of syllables and topics. It’s up to you. Please reflect on a day or your week, More >
The Collective Days in a Sentence
about 2 years ago - 6 comments
Before we begin, I found a site called Sharetabs from Larry through his Twittering and thought it might be a nice way to send you off to the various blogs of contributors this week. Sharetabs allows you to collect websites and then open them all as tabs or link them from small windows. So, click More >
Days in a Number
about 2 years ago - 1 comment
I was thinking it might be cool to try to add a numerical element to our Days in a Sentence. See if you can work some sort of number into your reflection this week. It could be a countdown to something. It could be a tally. It could be some creative operation that shows something More >
Deep into Days in a Sentence

There was another wonderful collection of Days in a Sentence from folks this week. I am always surprised and interested when another submission finds its way into my blog bin. Here goes: In Massachusetts, we are entering our testing season — the MCAS. Mary, my colleague at the Western Massachusetts Writing Project, is already thinking More >
On the prowl for Days in a Sentence

Thanks to Bonnie and Anne for guest hosting Days in a Sentence for a couple of weeks while I was off to Japan with my family. I appreciate the fact that there are plenty of folks who are willing to host the feature from time to time, and if you are interested in hosting Day More >

Please join Day in a Sentence over at Bonnie’s Blog this week while I am away and then look for the call for words over at Anne M’s blog site for the following week. I hope you enjoy your travels as much I intend to enjoy mine (to Japan). Peace (in flight paths), Kevin
Your Days on a Virtual Bulletin Board
about 3 years ago - 3 comments
Hi This week’s Day in a Sentence explores a new online application called Stixy, which is sort of like a wiki but looks and feels like a bulletin board. I am hoping it is easy to use. You just need to drag a text widget up into the white space, write your Day in a More >

Anne and Kevin,
Between the two of you, you really outdid yourselves!

Sue did a great job with this and everyone came up with great color descriptions. Now, I’m sorry I couldn’t find the time to participate this week.

Great presentation. Sorry I missed participating–again. I had planned to post on Saturday, but when I got back from Natchez and Larry came in from the country, he told me we were invited for supper–pastalaya (like jambalaya but with noodles instead of rice), potato salad, fresh pork cooked in a Cajun microwave, and fresh green beans. I couldn’t turn that down. So, off we went to Millbrook, and by the time we got back, it was late…well, you get the picture. But, congrats to everyone who added to the brilliant hue of Week in a Sentence.

Hey, this is cool, Kevin! (Um, but … isn’t ‘aubergine’ purple?) When I figure out how to be a better time manager, I need to get in on your day-in-a-sentence. I love the idea. I’ve tried it a couple of times with my students (with a little success), but I think if I was feeling a little more adept, I could make the lesson work better for them, too.

Kevin,
I don’t think the links are working. Should they?

I left my comment on Flickr, so here it is here. Lots of fantastic shares with color, wow, beyond.
BRAVO!

Oh
No links will work — they are just images.
I think Anne was going to upload into Slideshare, so if she does, I can do another post with that.
Thanks for pointing that out
Kevin
