Uplift and Shine in Exactly 55

Jessica Knott created a padlet open for people to share their stories that can “uplift” readers with the creative twist that each story is exactly 55 words, no more, no less and “we are counting.”

The beauty of padlet, which if you are not familiar, is like a web based bulletin board (they kind where you tack up notices and flyers) is that stories can be added by anyone, no accounts are needed, and they can include many kinds of media.

Check out the stories, feel the uplift, and add your own – https://padlet.com/jlknott1/2020OLCInnovate55Fiction

I watched new ones appear while the tab was open in my browser.

This is also something that just might generate creative activities for other teachers. Right?

Found via a tweet, thanks Maha!

Such a cool idea by @jlknott – #55Fiction – tell a story in 55 words (I think the prompt was… sthg uplifting): https://t.co/nji11SwxVl
