Six-Word Memoirs

Six-Word Memoirs by Teens: The Video from SMITHmag on Vimeo.

Here is the link to the teen site for six-word memoirs. Remember, some may not be appropriate for students. If you encounter one, move on to another. http://www.smithteens.com/. Go to the site and submit one. Who knows? You may be in the next book.

For our homework on Wednesday, 10/26, you’ll need to write 20 in your composition book. Out of those, pick two of the very best to cut into neat strips, in color, and with creative fonts.

In the meantime,  add a comment here and write one or two showing off your writing powers. Eventually, I’d like to add a six-word memoir portion to my site to showcase your work. Be sure that your memoirs are properly punctuated. This is a graded assignment!

Here are a few from me:

Rhode Island is far from home.

Write the truth; all else follows.

Some students sit, stare, sleep, slack.
