What's New This Week?
Week 1: 8/25 - 8/29
8/26/14 - Today we will go over class expectations and syllabus, and have our first writing activity of the year, a 6 word memoir! A 6 word memoir is based off of a moment when Ernest Hemmingway was challenged to write a 6 word story. His response was, "For sale: Baby shoes, never worn." So for our first writing activity, we will challenge ourselves to write a 6 word story, but about ourselves! Here is a video with great examples of 6 word memoirs!
