This slice is part of the Slice of Life on Two Writing Teachers! #sol24. I’m slicing on Tuesdays. I hope you’ll join me!
Today, I’m using the inspiration from EthicalELA: A True or False List Poem . . . There are some things that are true, there are some things that are false, and you’ll never really know!
My Day: True or False?
Today I
laughed with kindergarteners when they called me Grandma
ate my veggies and mac and cheese lunch at 2:00
fell off a chair and didn’t report it
walked my dog twice in the sunshine
was betrayed by someone who knows who they are
cried with teachers about things that don’t make sense
made big decisions I’ll soon regret
spoke my truth but too softly for anyone to hear
drank 3 cups of coffee before noon
planned arguments and poetry back to back
wrote a diamante about service leadership
told someone off who will never forget or forgive
took a nap on the couch, my book dropped to the floor
baked brownies for tomorrow, a day off of school
Or did I?
On a Thought 
”Fell off a chair and didn’t report it.” This made me laugh out loud. So funny. On a more serious note: tough big day. That calls for macaroni and cheese! Hope you’re okay. Love this form and what you’ve done with it.
So did you?? Or didn’t you? I kind of hope you did – the nap sounds amazing! It’s been a day here, so I enjoyed reading your list.
I love reading about all these actions. It’s a great writing model. I recognized parts of my life: planning an argument, telling someone off, but probably not…So apt!
