CHEESY POST....IF "CHEESY" BOTHERS YOU, STOP READING NOW!!!
I would have loved to have been able to look at every site that they showed, but time doesn't permit. However, the Web 2.0 I chose was actually an honorable mention site, not a winner, but it was one that I heard about in a workshop last week. The site is One Sentence - True Stories, told in One Sentence and the address is http://www.onesentence.org/. As I read some of them, which ranged from hilarious as all get-out to downright chilling, I wondered if I could do that. Could I write my life's story in one sentence? Would it be possible to boil everything down to a few words? I highly doubted it, but felt I had to give it a try. But, instead of focusing on my whole life, I felt it best to focus on one part of it - my family. Here goes.....
Seven children minus two parents, rest their souls, equals togetherness.
I know, kinda cheesy, but a microcosm of our family's story. When I look back to how far we've come, and what we've managed to accomplish since my mom passed away in 1995, I am blown away. I am proud that all seven of us have college degrees (earned with much blood, sweat and tears), are fiercely active in church, and can still manage to all get together and have a good time. It's also good to know that we've got each other's backs, even if we don't agree all the time. We were blessed with great parents, better than any of us deserved, but didn't realize their greatness until they were gone.
So, not much education-wise, but http://www.onesentence.org/ is a Web 2.0 tool and I can see unlimited uses in creative writing assignments, book reports, etc.
Gh my goodness- that site is amazing! I could read them for hours. Now I need to work on my own sentence. . . hummmm.
