Day in Sentence
The Return of Day in a Sentence
Jul 22nd
Wow. What happened to Day in a Sentence? It went on a little snoozer, I guess, as I kind of stepped away from the idea for a bit. But I miss seeing what folks write about when they mull over their day or week.
So, let’s do a Day in a Sentence, shall we? But I want to use AnswerGarden again for collecting answers, so: let’s do DAY IN A SHORT PHRASE (or word) as AnswerGarden has a character limit.
Here’s how it works:
- Reflect on your day or your week;
- Boil it down into a word or a short phrase;
- Pop your response into our Day in a Sentence AnswerGarden (or use the embedded AnswerGarden down below);
- (optional): After your response has gone in, add your first name to AnswerGarden, too, so we can see who has been contributing.
- You’re done!
Thanks for contributing!

Days in a Sentence is all a’Twitter
Jun 13th
Last week’s call for Days in a Sentence moved the reflective writing activity over to Twitter and a lot of folks added their “six word” day in a sentence.
Thanks to everyone who participated. This coming week, head over to Tracy’s blog to add your reflective Day in a Sentence, inspired by the month of June.

Come in, Come in for Day in a Sentence
May 27th
It has been a bit of time since I was the host of Day in Sentence. The writing activity has been making the rounds with all sorts of blogging friends, but now it comes back home. (Also, check out the article I wrote for LEARN NC about teaching writing in online communities where I mentioned our Day in a Sentence project)
I’m going to keep things simple and traditional, at least in the gathering of your words.
- Reflect on your day or your week;
- Boil it down into a single sentence;
- Post your sentence here as a comment to this blog post;
- I will gather up the sentences and publish them this weekend in some format (still thinking);
- That’s it!
Here is my Day in a Sentence:
I looked around my classroom yesterday and all I saw were creative movie producing teams hard at work in just about every space you could imagine and there were no signs of slacking in the bunch.

Day in the “Extreme” Sentence
Apr 21st
My good friend from New Zealand, Ken — A Blogger in Middle-Earth –is taking over as guest host for this week’s Day in a Sentence. Given the news from the world about volcanoes and such, Ken asks that we take our sentence to the extreme — really kick your reflection up a notch, if you can.
Not sure how Day in a Sentence works?
- Go to Ken’s Post
- Reflect on your week or a day in your week
- Boil it down to a single sentence
- Use the comment link at Ken’s blog post to share your sentence
- Ken will release them all to the world over the weekend
So come join us.
And as Ken would say:

Looking for floating metaphors for your Days
Mar 18th
Mary is hosting this week’s Day in a Sentence and her call for words is one that I don’t think we have done yet. She asks you to reflect on your week or your day by comparing it to a ship or boat.
Come join us over at Mary’s blog, Writing With Technology.
Leave your sentence/metaphor at her blog in the comment box, and she will be collecting and then publishing them all together in the coming days. Everyone is invited (that means you, dear reader).
Peace (on the waves),
Kevin
