1.What is "Slice of Life"? スライス・オブ・ライフって？
"Slice of Life" is a way of telling a story by zooming in on one ordinary moment in someone's day. It can be a short story about something that happened on the way to school, a poem about lunch, or a few photos with short captions.
It is also the name of a whole genre in Japanese anime and manga, the kind of stories where not much happens, but the small things matter. Bloggers around the world write Slice of Life entries too. This activity is inspired by Two Writing Teachers, an American group that started a Slice of Life challenge for writing teachers.
日本語まとめ：「スライス・オブ・ライフ」は、日常の何気ない瞬間を切り取って語る表現方法です。短い物語、詩、写真とキャプションなど、形は自由。日本のアニメ・漫画にも同名のジャンルがあります。
Why we do it ／ なぜやるのか
The goal is to build your fluency, comfort, and confidence in English by writing about something you actually live and care about, in a way that feels low-pressure. You become an English blogger this semester, sharing a little piece of your real life with your classmates each week.

2.Your personal blog あなたのブログ
🐰 from TuTu
Take ten minutes in your first week to make your blog feel like yours. A header you love, a tagline, a hello on your About page. 🥕
最初の週に10分だけ使って、ブログを「自分らしく」しましょう。好きなヘッダー、タグライン、About meでの自己紹介。
Good news: no more Blogger. This semester your blog lives right inside TuTu, so there is no extra account to make and nothing new to sign in to. It is already waiting for you.
Where to find it: ☰ menu → 📝 My Blog.
It is your own little publication, and you can make it look however you like:
- 🎨Customize: your blog's title, a tagline (one line about what your blog is about), a theme, colors, fonts, and a header picture (or your own photo).
- 👤About me: your self-introduction page. Add a photo, a few words about yourself, your favorite things. Drag the blocks around until you like the order. It is also your first assignment, worth 15 points (more in section 3).
- 🏷Labels and 📌 Pin to top: sort your posts by topic, and keep a favorite one at the top.
- 📝My Posts (📝 My Blog → 📝 My Posts): all your posts in one place, published or draft. You can see which ones are published, on a SOL board or turned in, and edit or take down any post. It also shows how many times your posts were opened (by your class, by the other CLIL class, and by people outside TuTu) and every comment you got. Only you see these numbers, and nobody can see who visited.
Who can read your posts ／ 誰が読めるか
You decide, post by post, just like on social media. Whoever can read a post can also comment on it.
- 👥My project group: just your group. Every new post starts here.
- 🏫My CLIL class: everyone in your class.
- 🌏Both CLIL classes: your class and the other CLIL class (G and I).
- 🔗Public, anyone with the link: people outside TuTu can read it too. They only see your first name, and they cannot comment. It does not show up in search engines.
Li-hsin can always read your published posts. You can change the setting any time. If you pick a small group, your other classmates see a 🔒 card on the SOL board. They can still leave a comment on the card, but they cannot open the post.
How you made it ／ どうやって作ったか
Under About this post there are three small boxes: 🤖 AI-assisted, 🎨 Contains AI-generated media, and 🗾 Translated from Japanese. Tick the ones that are true. They simply tell your readers how the post was made, the same way a good blogger credits their sources.
Speaking of sources: any YouTube video, web picture or link you add goes into your source list automatically. If you used something else (a book, an article, an interview), add it yourself.
日本語まとめ：今学期はBloggerを使いません。ブログはTuTuの中にあります（☰メニュー → 📝 My Blog）。新しいアカウントも、別のログインも必要ありません。🎨 Customizeでタイトル・タグライン（ブログの内容を表す一文）・デザイン・ヘッダー画像を、👤 About meで自己紹介ページを作れます。自己紹介ページは最初の課題でもあり、15点です（くわしくは3を見てください）。記事ごとに「誰が読めるか」を選べます（プロジェクトグループ／自分のクラス／両方のCLILクラス／リンクを知っている人）。読める人はコメントもできます。About this postの3つのチェック（AIを使った・AIで作った画像や動画がある・日本語から翻訳した）は、当てはまるものに付けてください。動画・画像・リンクの出典は自動でリストに入ります。📝 My Blogの中の「📝 My Posts」では、自分の記事を公開済みも下書きもすべてまとめて見られます。閲覧数（自分のクラス・もう一つのCLILクラス・TuTuの外）とコメントも見られます。閲覧数は自分にしか見えず、誰が読んだかは表示されません。
✦ ✦ ✦
3.Your weekly rhythm 毎週のリズム
Every week has its own SOL board in 📣 Discussions. Its title tells you the day the week starts, for example CLIL-G SOL#1 (10/5~). Boards for the weeks ahead show as 🔒 Locked until they open on Monday at 8:00, and when a week ends, its board becomes view only. Posts don't go there by themselves: after you publish, tap 🍋🟩 Add to this week’s SOL board (you can also add it from ↗ Share on your post, or the ＋ on the board) and add the posts you want your classmates to read. Add as many as you like.
📌 Adding a post to the SOL board is NOT turning it in.
The SOL board is only for sharing and commenting. Li-hsin does not check it. A post on the SOL board has not been handed in. To hand in your work, tap 📤 Turn in on your post, or open the assignment in 📋 Assignments and turn it in there.
📌 SOLボードに貼っても、提出にはなりません。SOLボードは、共有とコメントのための場所です。Li-hsinはSOLボードを確認しません。提出するには、記事の📤 Turn inをタップするか、📋 Assignmentsで課題を開いて、そこから提出してください。
Publish your post by Friday evening, so your classmates have time to read it and comment. Sunday 12:00 noon is the latest you can publish. Your comments and your 📤 Turn in are due by Sunday 23:59.
Wrote more than one post this week? Lovely. Turn in your favorite. Changed your mind? Until Sunday 23:59 you can turn in again: your newest turn-in replaces the earlier one. Each post counts for one week only, and only posts published during the week's dates count for that week.
SOL#1 is extra credit. It's a warm-up week: everything you earn there is a bonus.
Your first assignment: About me ／ 最初の課題：自己紹介
The About me assignment is worth 15 points in total (the breakdown is below), and it follows the same schedule as a weekly post: publish it by Friday evening (Sunday noon at the latest), then comments and 📤 Turn in by Sunday 23:59. Your page needs:
- ○At least three paragraphs, with proper paragraph structure
- ○At least one paragraph about your university life so far, so your page is new and not a copy of your spring self-introduction
- ○At least one original photo: a picture you took yourself. Pictures from the internet don't count.
- ○Your own title at the top of the page (anything other than "Self-introduction")
- ○Anything you didn't make yourself (pictures, videos, music) shows where it came from
You hand it in the same way as a weekly post:
- 💾Saves by itself while you work on it. Until you publish, it is just for you: nobody else can see it.
- 🚀Publish when you're happy with it. Now your classmates can read it and leave you a comment.
- ✅Confirm update: after you publish, your changes still save by themselves, but your classmates see them only after you tap ✅ Confirm update at the top of the editor.
- 📤Turn in. Right after you publish, TuTu asks if you want to turn it in. You can also do it later: tap 📤 Turn in as assignment on your About me page, or open the self-introduction assignment in 📋 Assignments and turn it in there.
Commenting on About me pages is a nice way to get to know your readers. Those comments count toward your weekly comments too.
日本語まとめ：毎週、📣 Discussions（掲示板）にその週のSOLボード（みんなの記事が並ぶページ）が用意されます。ボードのタイトルには、その週が始まる日が書いてあります（例：CLIL-G SOL#1 (10/5~)）。これから始まる週のボードは、月曜日の朝8時に開くまで「🔒 Locked」と表示されます。週が終わると、そのボードは閲覧のみになります。記事は自動ではSOLボードに載りません。公開したら、🍋🟩 Add to this week’s SOL boardから、クラスメイトに読んでほしい記事を追加してください（記事の↗ Shareやボードの＋からも追加できます）。何本でも追加できます。最初の週は、📝 My Blogを整えて👤 About meに自己紹介を書き、公開して提出します（15点）。毎週、記事は金曜の夜までに公開してください。クラスメイトが読んでコメントする時間を作るためです。公開は遅くても日曜の正午（12時）までです。📤 Turn inでの提出と、クラスメイト2人以上の記事へのコメントは日曜23:59までです。記事を何本書いてもOK。いちばん気に入った記事を1つ提出してください。日曜23:59までは何度でも提出し直せます（新しい提出が前の提出に置き換わります）。1つの記事は1つの週にだけ提出でき、期間中に公開した記事だけが対象です。SOL#1はエクストラクレジットです。ここで取った点は、すべてボーナスになります。自己紹介ページの課題は合計15点で（内訳は下のとおり）、スケジュールは毎週の記事と同じです（金曜の夜までに公開、遅くても日曜の正午まで。提出とコメントは日曜23:59まで）。条件は、①3段落以上（段落の形を守って書く）、②そのうち1段落以上は「これまでの大学生活」について書く（春学期の自己紹介の写しにならないように）、③自分で撮った写真を1枚以上のせる（インターネットの画像は不可）、④ページの一番上に、「Self-introduction」ではない自分で考えたタイトルをつける、⑤自分で作っていないもの（画像・動画・音楽）は出典を書く、の5つです。15点の内訳：自己紹介ページ10点＋クラスメイト2人以上の自己紹介ページへのコメント5点（コメント1つ＝2.5点）。自己紹介ページの提出のしかたは、毎週の記事と同じです。書いている内容は自動で保存されます。公開するまでは、自分にしか見えません。🚀 Publish（公開）すると、クラスメイトが読んでコメントできるようになります。公開したあとに変更した内容は、編集画面の上部にある「✅ Confirm update」を押すまで、クラスメイトには表示されません。公開するとすぐに、TuTuが「提出しますか？」と聞いてきます。あとから提出することもできます（自己紹介ページの📤 Turn in as assignment、または📋 Assignmentsの自己紹介の課題から）。自己紹介ページへのコメントも、毎週のコメントの数に入ります。

4.What to write 何を書く？
🐰 from TuTu
15 to 30 minutes is enough. Slice of Life is supposed to be small. If you spent two hours on it, it stopped being a slice. 🥕
15〜30分で十分です。「ひとコマ」なので、長く書きすぎないでください。
Slice of Life entries do not have to be long or polished. A typical entry is a paragraph or two: describing a phone photo, writing a short poem about yesterday's lunch, telling a tiny story about something that happened to you, or stringing a few photos together with short captions.
Different forms are encouraged. One week you might write a poem. The next, a photo essay. The next, a list of overheard sentences. The point is to write regularly in English about your real life, not to write something impressive once.
Some things you might write about ／ アイデア例
- 🥕A photo from your phone and what was going on around it
- 🌿A short poem about yesterday's lunch, or a song you can't stop hearing
- 🌱A small thing that surprised, annoyed, or made you laugh today
- 🥬A series of 3 to 5 photos with one-sentence captions each
- 🥕A conversation you overheard (or wish you'd had)
When you write in My Blog, you can drop photos anywhere in your text, add a YouTube video, and play with fonts and colors. 👁 Preview shows you the post exactly as your readers will see it, and your writing saves by itself as you go. Once a post is published, your changes show to readers only after you tap ✅ Confirm update at the top of the editor.
✦ ✦ ✦
5.The weekly discussion board 毎週のボード
Half the fun of blogging is the readers. Every week has its own SOL board in 📣 Discussions, for example CLIL-G SOL#2 (10/12~). It works like Padlet: classmates share their Slice of Life posts, and everyone reads, reacts and comments. A new SOL board opens on the first day of each week (until then, you see it as 🔒 Locked).
Sharing your post ／ 記事の共有のしかた
- 🚀Right after you publish: the Published! window has 🍋🟩 Add to this week’s SOL board. Tap it, then ＋ Add.
- ↗Share: every post has a ↗ Share button with three choices: 🔗 Copy link, 📤 Turn in as an assignment, and 🍋🟩 Add to this week’s SOL board.
- ＋From the board: tap the orange ＋ and choose 📰 My blog post. Only posts you published that week can go on that week’s SOL board.
- 🔁As many as you like. Changed your mind? Tap ⋯ on your pin → Take off the board.
More than blog posts ／ 記事以外も貼れます
- 📎Other things: the ＋ also takes 📝 short text, 📷 photos, 📎 files (PDF, Word, PowerPoint — 25 MB at most), 🔗 links and ▶️ YouTube videos.
- ✏️Your pins are yours: edit them or take them off anytime with ⋯. A SOL board may close for new pins at a set time — the board tells you when.
Reading the board ／ ボードの見かた
- 📖Read: tap a card to open it. Tap a blog post card to read the whole post.
- 🔍Your view: choose Smaller / Medium / Larger cards and Newest first / Oldest first. Your phone or computer remembers your choice.
- 🌏The other CLIL class: a link at the top of the SOL board opens their SOL board for the same week. You can read, react and comment there too.
Remember: the SOL board is for sharing and commenting only. Li-hsin doesn't check it, and adding a post here is not turning it in. Always use 📤 Turn in (or 📋 Assignments).
Leaving comments ／ コメントのしかた
- 💬Comments: a thoughtful comment doesn't mean a long one. It just means you read what they wrote and respond to that specifically. A question about their post is a great place to start. Tap 💬 on any card to comment.
- 👀Reactions: at the end of every post you'll find 👀 Read it · 😄 Made me smile · 💡 Learned something · 🤔 Made me think · 🙌 Same here! Cards on the board have quick reactions too. It's a small way to say "I read this."
- 🔒🔒 cards: some posts are only for the writer's group. You'll see the title but can't open it — you can still leave a comment on the card.
- 📚All student blogs: want to wander? Every blog in both CLIL classes is there.
日本語まとめ：ブログの楽しさの半分は、読んでくれる人がいることです。毎週、その週のSOLボードが☰メニュー → 📣 Discussionsに用意されます。Padletのようなピンボードで、みんなが記事を共有し、読んで、リアクションやコメントをします。記事を公開したら、「Published!」の画面で🍋🟩 Add to this week’s SOL boardを押します（記事の↗ Shareやボードの＋からも追加できます。その週に公開した記事だけです）。記事のほかに、テキスト・写真・ファイル（PDF・Word・PowerPoint、25MBまで）・リンク・YouTubeも貼れます。自分のピンは⋯からいつでも編集したり、外したりできます。カードの大きさ（小・中・大）と並び順（新しい順・古い順）は自分で選べます。もう一方のCLILクラスのSOLボードも、上のリンクから開けます。SOLボードは共有とコメントのための場所です。Li-hsinはSOLボードを確認しません。SOLボードに貼っても提出にはなりません。提出は必ず📤 Turn in（または📋 Assignments）で行ってください。
✦ ✦ ✦
6.How it's graded 採点のしかた
Here's how the grading works. Each week is worth 15 points, Publish your post by Friday evening (Sunday noon at the latest). Your comments and your 📤 Turn in are due by Sunday 23:59. A post or comment counts for the week only if it is published during that week's dates.
Two special ones: your About me page is a separate assignment worth 15 points, and SOL#1 is extra credit.
Extra credit ／ エクストラクレジット
- ⭐Extra comments: +1 for every classmate you comment on beyond the required 2, up to +3. That's 18/15.
- 🌟Extra posts: these count even more. With extra posts you can reach 20/15, the top score for a week.
Extra credit is holistic: Li-hsin looks at your whole week. A comment like "haha nice" is friendly, but it won't earn extra credit. TuTu keeps count of your posts and comments; Li-hsin gives the score.
Missed a week? ／ 1週休んでしまったら？
Don't give up. The point of these weekly posts is to keep you reading and writing in English every week, not to trip you up. Come back the next week, write, and comment on lots of classmates' posts. That's exactly what the extra credit is for.
日本語まとめ：毎週15点満点です。記事は金曜の夜までに公開してください（遅くても日曜の正午まで）。コメントと提出の締切は日曜23:59です。期間中に公開した記事とコメントだけが、その週に数えられます。記事＝10点：期間中に記事を公開して提出すれば、それだけで10点です。短くても、荒削りでも、英語のレベルに関係なく大丈夫です。コメント＝5点：クラスメイト2人以上の記事にコメントします（1つ＝2.5点）。記事1本＋コメント2つで、毎週15/15が確定します。自己紹介ページ（About me）は別の課題で15点、SOL#1はエクストラクレジットです。エクストラクレジット：3人目からのコメント1つごとに+1点（最大+3点で18/15）。追加の記事はさらに加点され、最高で20/15になります。エクストラクレジットは総合的に判断されるので、「haha nice」のようなコメントでは加点されません。1週休んでも諦めないで。次の週にたくさん書いて、たくさんコメントすれば挽回できます。
✦ ✦ ✦
7.Each week, do these 毎週のチェックリスト
- ○Write one Slice of Life post and publish it by Friday evening (Sunday noon at the latest)
- ○Tick the boxes under About this post that are true
- ○Add your post to the SOL board with 🍋🟩 Add to this week’s SOL board so classmates can read it (this is sharing, not turning in)
- ○📤 Turn in your favorite post of the week by Sunday 23:59
- ○Comment on at least 2 classmates' posts by Sunday 23:59
✦ ✦ ✦
8.Late submissions 遅れての提出について
⚠️ No late submissions accepted.
Due to the weekly format, points do not carry over. Late blog posts score zero.
遅れての提出は受け付けません。週ごとの課題なので、点数は次週に持ち越せません。締切を過ぎたブログ記事は0点になります。
Missed a week? You can earn those points back with extra credit: in the weeks after, write extra posts and comment on more classmates' posts (see section 6).
提出できなかった週の点数は、エクストラクレジットで取り戻せます。取り戻したいときは、次の週以降に追加の記事を書いたり、いつもより多くのクラスメイトにコメントしたりしてください（くわしくは6を見てください）。
🐰 Have fun with it.
楽しんで書いてください。完璧じゃなくていいです。続けることが大事。
