INTRODUCTION
Six Word Memoirs
What is it?
It is a form of memoir writing with one catch; you can only use six words.
A six-word memoir is usually accompanied by a graphic to help demonstrate or enhance the meaning of the text.

The Inspiration
The six-word memoir project was inspired by Ernest Hemingway’s famous six-word short story:
For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn.
In your groups discuss: What is Hemmingway trying to show in this story?
Which is better?
I will project two different six-word memoirs from the video we watched earlier. In your groups discuss which is the most effective (think word choice and graphic choice). Also, discuss whether they represent a memoir, autobiography, or neither.
