Six Word Essays
Last week we published and celebrated our essays. Part of our celebration included writing our essays as six word essays, inspired by Ernest Hemingway's six-word memoir.

Kate,
ReplyDeleteI just love this assignment (as you might have guessed!) and think it's a perfect fit for wrapping up several weeks' worth of hard work!
I am sitting here trying to think of what I'd say if I had six words to encompass everything I've written on my blog recently...and it's hard! Hmm, I continue to think about it. Synthesis isn't easy!
I loved how some of your students' six words were informational and others were poetic. Different kind of writing and writers make the world go round!
Thanks for being my glitter and glue,
Coreen :)
