Your life is precious! Therefore, the little things that happen to you need to be written down.
HOW: Write at least one slice of your life as a post on your Kidblog every day during the month of April.
Use a beginning, middle and end
Tell the setting
Proofread for ending marks and capital letters before you post
Post every day
Leave three comments EVERY day - either on our blog or blogs of other classrooms around the world

NOTES:
Every Slice of Life Story must be written about a slice, or a piece, of your day.
From the dictionary: A slice of life story is a category for a story that portrays a “cut-out” sequence of events in a character’s life. It may or may not contain any real plot, and often has no exposition, action, conflict, or denouement, with an open ending. It usually tries to depict the every-day life of ordinary people. The term slice of life is actually a (more or less) dead metaphor: it often seems as if the author had taken a knife and cut out a slice of the lives of some characters, without concern for narrative form.
