6 Word Memoirs

Today we began our 6 word memoir project and I couldn't have been happier with the work the students produced! After I showed a few examples it was as if a fire ignited. One student shared a 6 word memoir he created right on the rug. Counting the words on his fingers as he spoke, the other students took this structure and used it to support their thinking. Instantly the class began counting out their 6 word memoirs. Before I knew it students were rushing to their seats to get their thoughts on paper. Below are a few examples of the AMAZING work the students created today. Later this week we will begin recording our voices in preparation to create our 6 word video.
