The Six-Word Memoir
Overview
1. Be
PRECISE. (Writing Lesson #8)
2. Use strong diction—your Vocabulary
Variety sheet! (Writing
Lesson #3)
· I will be evaluating your work today on these two
skills. Focus on that, and begin with
the end in mind.
THINK ABOUT THIS:
Rumor has it that
when writer Ernest Hemingway was asked to write a short, short story, he penned
this:
“Pair of baby
shoes: never worn.”
That’s only six
words, but it tells a story.
Reading

the six-word memoirs and stories here: BE
PATIENT--THE LINK TAKES A MINUTE TO LOAD! http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords/

browse, or you can click on a certain subject area, if you’re interested in
memoirs on one topic.
