(For this month’s Slice of Life Challenge with Two Writing Teachers, I am aiming to do Six Word Slices most days, with some extended slices on other days.)
Context: We’re winding down an essay project on inventions. The other day, as every student in my entire class was working hard at moving from rough draft to final draft on the laptops, I noticed the sound of fingers on keys, clicking. When it’s just you, alone, you may notice the sound of your own starts and stops. When it’s a classroom of 20 sixth graders, the rhythm of writing takes hold in interesting ways, as a sort of collective writing symphony.
Peace (make writing into music),
Kevin
Pre-dawn keyboard solos slicing and creating.
Ahhh. the power of six words.
Love the contrast of multiple keyboards with just the one. Cool to think about and listen for.
It’s a contrast to most days, when my room is full of noise noise noise.

collective writing symphony….
Hmmm…
the sound of 10 potters on their wheels…
I envy your pottery experiences … what a great way to be creative.

Kevin,
You make multimedia presentations so easy.
How do you do it?
The master teacher, inspirational colleague and wonderful family man.
Keep blogging, connecting and inspiring.
Thank you.

So happy to see you in the SOL world, too. Keep writing. Your poem today was powerful.

even your title is a 6-word story…but I thank you for a key to those just under the wire posts…and getting me into slicing in the first place
Thanks for stopping by. It’s good to leave a lot of keys for others.
Kevin
And then there are all of those who create
