First writing class of the year - a group of seventeen eclectic students assembled in my virtual classroom. They joined from all across the state of Pennsylvania. Co-teachers ready. Game faces on.
After introductions and expectations, we talked about the six word memoir. Students read aloud. Chatted with myself, my co-teachers, and amongst themselves. As as class, we defined a memoir - French for memory. I shared the fact that Ernest Hemingway won his first essay with a six word memoir. After introducing the assignment and providing examples, I sent my high school students on their way to create their first six word memoir. I reiterated - the only requirement was that it had to be six words. SIX WORDS. SIMPLE. I hope you enjoy the responses as much as I did. Some nailed it - and, well, some really missed the mark. My take away as an educator; we have got some work to do. - to be continued - xo Traci books, chores, playing outside and television My mom is always making food. horses horses horses horses horses horses pets:my cat sean is looking at me right now My favorite thing is to climb a tree I went to the beach summer break.
