Slice 13 March 13, 2012 What to write about?

My students were asking me today, "What should we write about?"  They were having some trouble coming up with ideas of what to write about.  Guess what? So am I.  I gave them ideas and now I am at a loss.

I have used a quote, written about what I have been doing, talked about memories, and now I'll tell you about a recipe I found that I like.  It is called Cherries Jubilee Cheesecake.  It is easy and wonderful!  How about that for something to write about!  Besides being a Language Arts teacher, I am a Family Consumer Arts Teacher as well.

Here's the recipe:
Cherries Jubilee Cheesecake
1 box Betty Crocker SuperMoist Cherry Chip Cake Mix
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 container Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy cherry frosting
3 eggs
Directions:
Heat oven to 325°F. In large bowl, beat dry cake mix and butter with electric mixer on low speed until crumbly; reserve 1 cup. In bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch pan, press remaining crumbly mixture. In same bowl, beat cream cheese and frosting with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Beat in egg until blended. Pour over crust; sprinkle with reserved crumbly mixture. Bake about 45 minutes (about 42 minutes for dark or nonstick pan) or until set; cool completely. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours until chilled. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 6 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.
Makes 36 bars

It is simple and very delicious. Enjoy! That was easy!  Happy Slicing! (especially the cheesecake) :)

      You'll have to tell me how you like them. I think you could do other flavors too.

SOLC 2012: 6 of 31 March 6, 2012 Sink or Swim?

Sink or swim could mean the same to many people and to others different meanings. How profound! I think in writing, to sink or swim would be to just get started and not stop.  What have you got to lose?    I went back to college when I was 39 years old to get my English degree.  I had a B.S. from college in Home Economics at that time, but was unable to find a teaching job so thought I'd add to my license so I could teach. Try going back to school with students who are approximately twenty years younger than you.  Talk about a challenge. Now there's one!   Boy, was I enthused!  They breathed life right back into me.  Most of them were very insightful and I learned to get right in with them. To cut a long story short, they would call me and I called them, and we made it through. The toughest part was creative writing.   I hadn't written in years.  No one had actually taught me to write.  The professor then wasn't teaching me either.  It was "sink or swim"

June 21, 2011 First Day of Summer

First I have to make a few comments about a workshop I went to yesterday. It was the All Write Institute and it was so inspiring!  It's like a breath of fresh air and like the first day of spring and summer, a new beginning! It makes me feel ready to begin again.  With the Keynote, I listened to six speakers.  Some of course were the same speakers because I liked Jeff Anderson so much, I went back to hear him twice.  I felt he could help me with what I wanted to learn at this time to help my students the most at this time. With that said, summer brings in things we don't have to do; we don't have to wear winter coats, no worry about snow or shoveling, the lack of ice on the roads makes it so much easier to drive and easier to walk, we don't freeze and have cold breezes that make it hard to breathe in the cold, no fear of sickness like colds or flu, and finally we feel more like being outside (well I don't like cold) so I stay inside more in the winter. This brings
