Flash Slices
I am so impressed with your writing! Writing slices about ourselves has been fun and interesting. This week, we will continue writing narrative nonfiction but with a twist. You need to tell an entire story of your life in 35-60 words. Be brief. Be clear. Every single word is necessary and important, so don’t waste your words!
This challenge is hard for me because I feel like I need lots of words to convey my message. Let’s see if I can do it. Here’s one about losing my dog, Leo and getting Bella…
Empty house without Leo. Quiet. Clean. Sad. Lonely. I need a dog. My new dog won’t be Leo. I worry. After weeks of looking, there she is. Belle. I think I’ll call her Bella. My new friend. My companion, looking after me, since Leo left.
That was really good Ms. Haseltine you really did well in doing the flash slice
I’m so sorry!!! I feel like crying. But your new dog Bella is so adorable!
That was a nice flash slice.
How are we supposed to write a slice with 32-60 words?!
I know right. Im having a hard time writing my flash slices. I always have to write even more than 60 words.
i totally agree with what you said during class today, ” i think its more easy to write a flash slice that is sad.” we both don’t know why its easier but somehow it is!!
That is so sad, but amazing that you can write about that .Usually I can’t write about that stuff.
You should probably never check your email while you are walking your dog or cooking or anything else that’s not life threatening!!! Unless you have free time.
