My life in 6 words :) This was how I introduced the 6 word memoir lesson to my class!
Goal: This activity is for students to be introspective and practice the brainstorming process. It can also be used as a get to know you back to school activity. (Make your own as another example!) The timing is about 1 class period (between 30 minutes to an hour).
Procedures:
- First, students will brainstorm all the nouns and things that make them who they are!
- Then they free write about 3 of words that most represent who they are.
- Finally, students will synthesize all their brainstorming into 6 words that represent who they are!
- Share with the class their 6 Word Memoirs.
- Options for sharing:
- Share on an anchor chart.
- Have the students create their own inspirational poster with their 6 Word Memoir.
- Create a Google Slides where each student gets a slide where they can choose a picture background and write their 6 Word Memoir.
Examples:
- teaching, learning, laughing; fueled by coffee
- distant places, cookie dough, soccer mom
- be a pineapple, feel the waves
- believe in me, buy the shoes
- don’t look back, run for life
