Connecting

Slice of LIfe
This slice is part of  the 17th annual Slice of Life Story Challenge on  Two Writing Teachers! #sol24 I’m slicing every day this month, for the 11th year! Wahoo!!! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂


Connecting
laptops
zoom, zoom, zoom
breathing in and out
in and out in and out in and out
taking notes with colored marker
writing presentation notes and quotes
that really make you think, like when the
presenter answered,

The rubric is very
Specific
How do I explain this?
It’s generalized.
You can look at the other ones if you want to —
But it’s generic
So if you need to, you can just explain it to the students

Wait, what?

There’s so much to laugh about
good thing you can
round it out with some
crying

No worries though
there are colored markers!
and also
friends
books
knitting
and a baby visit!

So I guess, all-in-all, even though
I may roll my eyes
at a rubric that is very
specifically generic
I get to roll my eyes in good company
and at the end of the day, it is mostly about
Connecting

  1. I think those are the best times for connecting – when things do not make any sense at all – but still we are expected to follow them. Nice to have company at those very times!
